Thirst chronicles Scott Harrison's transformation from a successful New York City nightclub promoter to the founder of charity: water, a nonprofit dedicated to providing clean drinking water to people in developing countries. Disillusioned with his hedonistic lifestyle, Harrison embarked on a journey of self-discovery that led him to volunteer on a hospital ship in West Africa. Witnessing the dire need for clean water firsthand, he was inspired to take action. In 2006, with limited resources and experience, he launched charity: water, which has since funded thousands of water projects worldwide. This memoir offers an inspiring narrative of personal redemption and the profound impact one individual can have on global humanitarian efforts.
