Gil Garcetti on Safe Water for West Africans

Unclean water is the biggest public health crisis in the world and the second biggest killer of children under five. 1.8 million children die each year from diarrhea and other diseases. It also has devastating economic consequences. Women and girls spend their days walking miles in search of clean water, instead of earning money for their families or going to school. The plight of more than one billion people around the world with no access to clean water is the subject of a new book by Gil Garcetti, photographer and former Los Angeles District Attorney. Water is Key (Balcony Press), Garcetti's fifth photographic book, captures the struggles of villagers in West Africa with no access to clean water, as well as the dramatic transformation that occurs when communities finally receive safe water. Gil Garcetti joins Larry to talk about finding access to safe water in West Africa.
