On the occasion of the Oakley x OneSight x IBKM event, Brut spoke with Kylian Mbappé about the importance of getting involved in an associative manner for him.
The Oakley x OneSight x IBKM event aims to equip a thousand children from modest backgrounds with corrective glasses and sunglasses. Founder of the IBKM association, Kylian Mbappé, star of PSG and the French football team, talks about the importance of commitment. “Getting involved is something that matters to me. It comes from my education and also from the fact that I arrived here because I was helped. I think it’s the normal course of life : when you have been helped, you arrive in a position where you have succeeded and it is your turn to help”says Kylian Mbappé.
“Making children smile is priceless”
It was in 2020 that the sportsman created IBKM, his “greatest pride”. The association aims to introduce young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to sporting and cultural activities. “It’s something that I have no trouble promoting because it’s something that really gives me pleasure. Giving children a smile is something that is priceless,” explains Kylian Mbappé. Although he has a busy schedule, the Parisian striker wants to be present as much as possible at the association’s events: “For me, it’s important to be there. I really want these children to have the same chance as I had in my field”.
