When Oscar-winning actor Matt Damon visited rural Zambia in 2006, the last thing he expected was to become a life-long champion for the battle to end the global water and sanitation crisis. He quickly realized that to make a real impact, he'd need additional expertise.
Enter civil and environmental engineer Gary White. After quitting his consulting job to launch a nonprofit in 1990, he'd become an internationally recognized water and sanitation expert. A chance encounter would set these two unlikely allies on a decades-long mission to bring safe water and sanitation to the world.
Through first-hand accounts of setbacks and triumphs in projects spanning across the world, The Worth of Water illuminates the challenges of building and scaling market-based financial solutions to the global water crisis-and ultimately, empower communities and individuals to make long-lasting investments in their own wellbeing.

LIVELY ON THE PAGE: More than a business how-to, this book brings Matt and Gary's signature humor and strong storytelling in a poignant, clear, and often funny narrative that manages to distill complex issues.
PROMOTIONAL COMMITMENT: For the authors this is not a hobby, it's been a 10-year journey, and Matt has committed to three days of publicity. Together, Matt and Gary have appeared on everything from The Daily Show and Squawk Box, to CBS This Morning and CNN, to the TIME 100; we expect they'll do so again to promote the book.
URGENT CAUSE, WITH MARKET SOLUTIONS: The water crisis is not going away anytime soon, with climate change posing new challenges all over the world, and this book offers an effective alternative to charity for long-term relief efforts.
DONATED PROCEEDS: A portion of proceeds will go toward funding the mission of Water.org.
