LeBron James and Jaden Smith Are Helping Pakistan in a Way They Wouldn’t Have Thought

LeBron James is known for dominating the game inside the court. But off-duty, James is known for giving back to society in the best way he can. James had also established his family foundation, helping kids pursue their education. His off-court acts have impressed many, as it is how an athlete of his stature contributes to the society off-court.

A couple of years ago, LeBron’s name had floated in a water supply chain in Pakistan. Paani Project, a nonprofit organization that provides all sorts of aid in and around the country, has a few celebrity names under them. This organization’s headquarters are located in Michigan, United States, and it has several high-profile entities attached to it.

Notably, Paani volunteers acknowledged LeBron, claiming that James was the most visible when it came to bringing awareness among people.
