12 Philanthropists - The most kind hearted cricketers

7. Sachin Tendulkar:

Humility personified is Sachin Tendulkar for you. The cricketing legend prefers to do things quietly. But what is well established in the public domain is the fact that he is a huge supporter of Apnalaya, an NGO which is close to his mother-in-law, Annabel. She has dedicated four decades of her life to Apnalaya and is now the NGO’s president. Tendulkar sponsors about 200 under-privileged children every year through Apnalaya. In 2011, he raised a corpus fund of 1.35 crore to help more than 300 kids in their treatment and recovery from cancer.
