Editor’s Insight
In 2022, I received this book as a gift at the World Water Week in Stockholm. And on the way home, it had me hooked from the very first pages. Two people (Gary and Matt), who could hardly be more different, decide to join forces to advocate for safe water access in developing countries and establish sustainable solutions. The most striking thing: it is not primarily about water, but about giving entire generations a real chance at a self-determined life. This book has completely changed the way I see water - and above all, reliable access to it.
