Catholic Social Teaching

• "All people have a right to safe drinking water. This is a basic human right and a central issue in today’s world (cf. Laudato Si’, 30; Caritas in Veritate, 27)....Water needs to be given the central place it deserves in the framework of public policy....Each day a thousand children die from water-related illnesses and millions of persons consume polluted water....God the Creator does not abandon us in our efforts to provide access to clean drinking water to each and to all" (Pope Francis, 2/24/17).
