Karl “The Mailman” Malone, NBA legend and hall of famer, and his wife Kay, a proud Filipina, have joined forces with the Water Flow Foundation, Inc. of Manila to provide water security for every community in the Philippine countryside.
Water Flow’s mission is to aid underserved areas by developing and implementing solutions to the problem of water scarcity in hard-to-reach places, as discussed in an intimate media conference held at SMX Convention Center Aura in Taguig City recently.
The Water Flow Foundation was inspired to action by the plight of those living in areas with inadequate water infrastructure. The group draws on the skills of its members and seeks advice from specialists in order to assess the situation and choose the best course of action for these areas.
The Foundation counts its work with the people of Puroks 5 and 6 in Brgy. Burgos, Botolan, Zambales as a major accomplishment.
A water pump and storage tank were erected by the foundation last year, allowing more than 250 people to have regular access to clean drinking water. Water is no longer a distant resource for the Aeta people; now, it can be reached in a matter of minutes, rather than hours.
Karl and Kay Malone were enthusiastic about working with Water Flow after their first encounter, and the two parties have since set up shop to continue working toward their shared objective of significantly improving the quality of life in disadvantaged regions.
The Malone family and the Karl Malone Foundation for Kids are committed to improving the world, so they’ve partnered with The Water Flow Foundation to construct a community center with adaptable areas that can be used for a variety of purposes.
Allocated areas may be used for a variety of purposes, including education and training, health and wellness, earning a living, and so on. Green power, such as solar electricity, will be employed in accordance with the group’s sustainability goals.
The Aeta Tribe will co-create the Karl & Kay Malone Family Center in Burgos, which will serve as their property and benefit future generations of Aeta Tribal members and their families.
The event gathered the likes of Karl Malone Jr. or KJ, preserving his parents’ advocacy of making the world a better place by continuing the Karl Malone Foundation for Kids, Robert Ariotti from the Malone Foundation, and Atty. Sean Reyes, Fil-Am icon and Attorney General of Utah.
Paul Holbrook, President of MINDStyle International a global consumer products company working with Disney, marvel, Warner brothers, HBO, UFC, NBA was also present together with representative from the Water Flow Foundation Inc. led by its Founder and President Edwin Miranda, Maricar Malaki, Co-Founder, and Aeron Morado, Board Member.
On December 8th, officials from Water Flow, representatives from the Malone family, and Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes will gather in Burgos for the official groundbreaking of The Malone Community Center. Food and presents will be donated by several organizations, including the Waterflow Foundation, The Malones, MINDstyle, Ryan Bowen, Pat Lewis, Andy Chudd, Rob Ariotti, and many more.
This innovative partnership exemplifies the dedication of these organizations to bettering the lives of the Filipino people by providing access to basic services and commodities.
