According to a statement by Sebastien Ogier on Tuesday, he said the charities will go to Nakuru Children's Project and Ol Pejeta Conservancy which will each receive half of the amount.
"Education is the key to a better future so I want to support Nakuru Children's Project with €10.000, and we should do everything in our power to protect this wildlife so I will also make a donation of €10.000 to Ol Pejeta Conservancy," Ogier said.
Ogier said that he fell in love with Kenya because of the support he received from locals during the Safari Rally competition he won a few weeks ago.
"This wonderful country got a place in my heart," he said.
The seven-times World Rally Champion won the 2020 World Rally Championship held in Naivasha on June 27 after overnight leader Thierry Neuville hit a rock and retired his stricken Hyundai.
The Ol Pejeta Conservancy works to conserve wildlife, provide a sanctuary for great apes, and generate income through wildlife tourism.
Nakuru Children's Project is a UK-based charity that helps children achieve their dreams through education.
