AS Monaco goalkeeper Philipp Köhn has funded windows for a school building in a disadvantaged São Paulo neighbourhood after an auction at the Club Suisse de Monaco’s anniversary celebration raised €8,000, which he then increased with a personal contribution.
The Swiss international auctioned a signed electric bicycle and jersey at the December event, with proceeds going to Casa dos Curumins, a Brazilian organisation working with children in vulnerable communities. Köhn, who has visited the projects and engaged with conditions on the ground, made an additional donation beyond the auction total.
Representatives of Casa dos Curumins have now received the full amount, which specifically funded windows for a new school building. The construction represents an important step in creating a safe and functional learning environment for children in the organisation’s care.
Long-term social commitment
Köhn has supported socially disadvantaged young people for several years, regularly using his public profile for social causes. His involvement with Casa dos Curumins includes personal contact with the organisation’s projects and understanding of local living conditions.
“Education and opportunity are the foundation for a better future—I am delighted to be able to contribute through this support,” Köhn said at the cheque presentation.
Casa dos Curumins works in a socially disadvantaged São Paulo neighbourhood, aiming to protect children, adolescents and families from violence, poverty and social exclusion. The organisation provides educational, cultural and recreational programmes including academic support, music, arts and sports activities designed to support sustainable community development.
Club Suisse role
The Club Suisse de Monaco regularly supports social and charitable projects as part of its activities. The anniversary celebration provided an opportunity to combine sporting networks with social responsibility, bringing together club members and Köhn’s charitable work.
