“It Moved Me”: Billionaire Stephen Curry and Wife Ayesha Helped Save 7 Million Lives With a Tool That Only Cost $5 in 2022

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is more than just a basketball player and a global icon. The four-time NBA champion does a lot of charity work and along with his wife, he has founded the Eat. Play. Learn foundation. This foundation has the goal of helping underprivileged children and giving them a better life. Not only in his own country and region, but Steph Curry has also helped people all across the world.

Early on in his fantastic career, Curry visited the northern part of Tanzania which is home to numerous refugee camps. Having seen the suffering up close, the Warriors superstar changed the lives of millions through a $5 investment.
