Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane have both pledged thousands of pounds to charity in recent years to transform their local villages.
Liverpool forward Salah, 30, was born in Nagrig - a village near the Egyptian city Basyoun. His club team-mate Mane, who is on the verge of completing a move to Bayern Munich, was born in the village of Bambali - located in the Sedhiou department of Senegal.
Mane, also 30, recently visited Bambali after spending almost £750,000 on new buildings - including a hospital, school, post office and petrol station. The hospital, which cost £455,000 to build, serves 34 nearby villages. Bambali has a population of around 2,000.
