The Worth of Water: Our Story of Chasing Solutions to the World's Greatest Challenge by Gary White

4.0

This book discusses what Gary White and Matt Damon have done to help solve the water crisis parts of the work face. I found their efforts with micro loans to provide clean water and sanitation to third world countries very interesting and unique. They way the look at these micro loans as being a way to free up time and resources to allow people to do other tasks that do earn money is what was key to the banks to provide these micro loans. Micro loans were also a better solution to the water problem because it allows more money to be coming in and redistributed by not having the money ever really leave the organization. It just give people the resources temporarily so they can free up their time to earn a source of income.

This book is a great way for the authors to get their message out to the masses and get others on board with their projects.
