Our friend, Malcolm Brogdon was interviewed by the crew at NBA on TNT earlier this week and the results were about more than just basketball! While sharing about his return from injury with the panel, Brogdon was asked about his work with Chris Long and Hoops2o. NBA legend and now TNT analyst, Charles Barkley immediately stepped in, asked how much it is to fund a clean water system in East Africa and quickly pledged $45,000 towards a “Chuck” well.
We’re unbelievably proud of Malcolm and his passion to make this world a better place! As the implementing partner for the Hoops2o & Waterboys initiatives, we’re giving a big congratulations to the team for funding yet another solar-powered well that will reach people who have never received clean water before. Keep up the good work and thank you Charles Barkley and TNT for your support of tackling the clean water crisis in East Africa!
The Tanzania Water Fund is based in Phoenix Arizona and has been funding wells in Singida, Tanzania for over 15 years. Ten years ago, TWF and WorldServe forged a partnership for mutual funding of water projects in this region because of the severity of the need for clean water. Since then, TWF has partnered on over 35 clean water projects and intends to continue partnering with us to accomplish its mission: to solve the water problem in Singida by seeing that a deep well, power source and storage tank is provided to each village in the district. Dean Riesen, Chairman of Tanzania Water Fund, also serves as a board member of WorldServe International.
