“The Worth of Water,” by Gary White and Matt Damon (Penguin Random House)Gary White, the water engineer-activist, and Matt Damon, the actor-philanthropist, have formed one of the world’s great partnerships and solved a problem that has eluded well-meaning institutions, national governments and brainy people — how to bring clean water to millions of poor households.Without that most fundamental of commodities, the poor were trapped in a cycle of poverty, often paying exorbitant prices for delivered water or spending hours daily hauling jugs from distant streams and wells.“People trapped in this cannot escape,” White said.He and Damon created an escape path — water.org and partnerships with banks that allowed people to borrow $275, typically what it cost to connect water to a house in a poor country.In this work, as the book details, the numbers are stunning.— 785 million people in the world lack access to safe water.— 443 million missed school days are caused by waterborne diseases.— 20% of people’s income in some poor countries is spent on buying water from trucks.“It’s expensive to be poor,” the book notes.Thanks to White and Damon’s efforts, that math is changing.— 43 million people have received micro loans to enable water connections to their houses.— 99% of the loans are repaid.— 88% of the loan receivers are women.Water carries an almost magical transformative power. For example, White relates the story of a woman in Uganda who, after she connected water to her house, started making bricks, raising a pig and growing a garden.
