Jay-Z Helps UN Focus On Water Crisis

President Carter is at it again. This time he wants to make it crystal clear that young people need to understand the importance of water conservation.

Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z wants to use his influence on young people to get them to conserve water at a time when poor nations cannot get enough safe drinking water.

Jay-Z told a news conference at U.N. headquarters on Wednesday that he will use his world concert tour beginning September 9 to visit poor regions lacking clean water. His record company said details of his tour have not been announced.

Jay-Z, who is president and chief executive officer of New York-based Def Jam Recordings as well as a performer, also plans to narrate an MTV documentary, "Diary of Jay-Z: Water for Life," that will air November 24.As I started looking around and looking at ways I can become helpful, it started with water. Something as simple as water," said Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter. "Young people need to know the problem exists."

Jay-Z said he hopes young people will learn to conserve water at a time when 4,500 children die daily from preventable diseases caused by poor sanitation and a lack of water.
