WATER IN WEST AFRICA
Help Make a Better Future Possible

Millions of West Africans lack access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation. Yet when safe water is available, entire village economies change and the lives of the inhabitants are transformed from disease and malnutrition to hope and success. This transformation is most dramatic for women and girls, who are often relied upon for hauling water from miles away. A local, clean water supply can make attending school or starting a business a reality.

To help realize such transformations, the Pacific Institute is teaming up with photographer Gil Garcetti on Water in West Africa, a campaign to help raise funds for safe-water initiatives in West Africa.* 100% of the proceeds of this project will go to non-governmental organizations working on the ground to provide water, sanitation, and hygiene improvements to those most in need.

For your generous donation of $100 or more, you will receive a copy of WATER IS KEY: A Better Future for Africa. Through deceptively beautiful photographs and poignant essays, this book illustrates the challenges facing Africans who lack access to safe water and sanitation. Garcetti's images are joined by the words of Liberia President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, U.S. President Jimmy Carter, Ireland President Mary Robinson, United Nation Secretary-General Kofi Annan, and the African villagers themselves.
