On the basketball court, Dikembe Mutombo was an NBA hero to millions. Off the court, hes a hero to tens of millions for his humanitarian work. Once he was blocking shots on professional basketball courts. Now, with the help of an Israeli group, hes helping turn on lights and more at his home court in Africa.
Israels Innovation: Africa, which specializes in bringing solar power to the continent, is teaming up with Mutombo to bring electricity to a hospital in his hometown, enabling caregivers to provide help to tens of thousands who currently dont have access to decent medical care.
Mutombo and eight other NBA All-Stars will travel this week to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where Mutombo was born and raised to inaugurate a new solar powered electricity system at the Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital in Kinshasa, Mutombos hometown. It will allow doctors to conduct nighttime surgeries and provide refrigeration for medicines and vaccines.
