California native Nikki Mahoney, after a professional basketball career in Europe, decided to found SPLASH (Sports, Peace, Love, Awareness, Schools, & Humanity), a foundation that aims to help underprivileged children in the world’s worst slums.
Nikki has travelled to over 40 countries and as she states on her Instagram account she is “Traveling the World’s Greatest Places, Seeking Out a City’s Worst Slums, and Empowering its Children through Sports.”
You can check out her blog, where her travels are documented here.
