Didier Drogba has provided the people of his homeland a lifeline, after the Chelsea striker's charity ball raised a staggering £400,000 for his Foundation. Drogba celebrated playing his part in Chelsea's 1-0 victory over Manchester United on Saturday night by putting on the event at London's swanky Dorchester Hotel. And the Ivory Coast icon was delighted with how the evening panned out, as his team-mates and other members of the world of football and celebrity helped raise a figure that will open a medical clinic in Abidjan, Ivory Coast's capital, later this year.

Christina Milian was joined on stage by the Chelsea forward for a night of entertainment in the West End, after Jose Mourinho's side had moved one step closer to sealing their third Premier League title. The Didier Drogba Foundation has provided financial support across health and education in Africa since it was founded in 2007, and following the fourth ball to be held, many more children in villages outside of Abidjan will now receive treatment for medical conditions through mobile  clinics. Drogba was thankful to team-mates Petr Cech, Eden Hazard, Branislav Ivanovic, Gary Cahill, Juan Cuadrado, Nemanja Matic and John Terry for attending the ball, alongside many other guests which included Thierry Henry, Edgar Davids and Jermaine Defoe.

After Grammy-nominated singer Milian was given backing support by Drogba and Hazard during her performance, Fuse ODG entertained guests with his greatest hits. The live auction was the focal point of the evening as VIP tickets to the upcoming fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao triggered a bidding war, while Hazard and Ivanovic lost out on a mod scooter signed by Chelsea’s 2012 Champions League-winning side.
