Excerpt from Pope Francis encyclical letter,
Laudato Si: On Care for our Common Home
Since 2005, Sisters of Charity Halifax have donated more than $850,000 to water projects
in some of the poorest areas of our globe. Each of our projects includes an education component and
involvement of the local community. Local men and women become the caretakers of the water system
once the project is completed. This empowers communities, giving them the knowledge and confidence
that they can improve their standard of living, providing greater hope for the future.
