Kyrie Irving s KAI Family Foundation has teamed up with the Paani Project to build a solar water center in Tharparkar, Pakistan. Both nonprofit organizations hope their efforts will provide access to clean water in one of the nation s most under-resourced areas.
“I reached out to his foundation directly and told them about Paani,” Paani Project Founder
Sonny Khan said. We have $0 in overhead costs. We give all of our money to the people. We record everything from start to finish. We’ve raised over $1 million as volunteers without any money for marketing.”
Khan reached out to the KAI Family Foundation because Irving has a history of giving back to worthy causes. During his NBA career, he has donated more than $2 million to the WNBA, Feeding America, Food Bank for New York City and several other organizations. More recently, he donated school supplies to 25 young scholars in Kenya.
