“Our journey has proven two things: One, that resolving the water crisis is possible – within our lifetime. And two, that the key is to unleash the incredible determination and ingenuity of the people who fight every day for the essentials like safe water and sanitation and sanitation. “
“The Worth of Water is the story of how communities and individuals can be empowered to make long-term investments in their own well-being,” according to Penguin Random House Group Portfolio.
