The Social Action Office of the Diocese
of Cleveland seeks to shape a more caring society and a more peaceful
world through justice education, advocacy, community development and
organizing. Our work is based on the call of the Gospel to work for
the elimination of poverty, to speak out against injustice, and to
promote the common good.

"The source of water passes through two villages. It is
important to purify the water
that travels to the villages. The schools and the
village will benefit from purified water.
Always during the rainy season the water is filled with
soil, leaves, branches and
waste material. We need to have safe clean water for
our children and all
those who live in the community."
