Water is Key photo exhibition by Gil Garcetti, photographer and former cultural ambassador of UNESCO-IHE (now IHE Delft) in 2014
Water is Key tells the story of how clean water in villages in West Africa changes the lives, health, education, and destiny of the people there, especially that of women and girls.
