Chelsea forward Jackson funds food truck initiatives in Senegal and The Gambia

Jackson has generously funded the delivery of truckloads of food and supplies to his hometown of Ziguinchor in Senegal and Banjul in The Gambia.

The supplies include rice, onions, potatoes and sugar - plus pens and books for local children.

Jackson bankrolled the delivery over the summer.

A Chelsea source told The Sun: “Nico feels a really strong connection with his roots and he wants to give back as much as possible to support people in the places where he was born and raised.”
