Malcolm Brogdon left a part of his heart in Africa.

In trips to the continent as a child, he saw poverty he never knew existed. He returns now to help the people who had such a profound impact on the direction of his life.

Brogdon, an Atlanta native and current NBA player for the Indiana Pacers, took family trips to Ghana and Malawi as education and service experiences at ages 10 and 13. A year ago, the 28-year-old established the Brogdon Family Foundation, which includes the Hoops4Humanity initiative. Its focus is providing clean water, enhanced educational opportunities and sustainable approaches to improve health for children and families in Africa.
