Mavs center JaVale McGee educates youth on importance of water, announces plans to open sports complex in Uganda

The Dallas Mavs center also thinks back to his hospital visit in Tororo, Uganda, a couple summers ago when he went around and provided sugar, soap and toilet paper for patients suffering in deplorable conditions. The sight and need of the people only amplified his desire to make an impact, and each year McGee returns to build more clean water sources in Ugandan villages. “It's really a humbling experience to visit Uganda,” McGee said. McGee and his business partner, Kez Reed, founded “The JUGLIFE Foundation” to help underdeveloped areas gain access to clean water in all corners of the world.
