On July 21, 2020, Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon announced the launch of his foundation, the Brogdon Family Foundation, to put his dream into action. With his foundation's first anniversary nearing, the University of Virginia graduate traveled nearly 8,000 miles to witness his life's greatest passion in progress.
As a part of Hoops4Humanity, an initiative started by his foundation, Brogdon spent eight days in Eastern Africa to assist with and monitor the installation of clean water wells in several communities along the continent's beautiful yet oft-forgotten region. The trip took him to cities in both Kenya and Tanzania, as he witnessed the impact of his desire to improve the lives of those who struggle with finding an essential daily resource.
