CRS works closely with a range of organizations including sister Church agencies nongovernmental organizations, host governments, international agencies, local alliances, and others, sister Church agencies, Caritas and the Catholic Health Commission, on water and sanitation projects—drilling wells, installing pumps, laying pipe, building latrines, and conducting training and outreach, among many others. This collaboration helps ensure high quality programming marked by a deep understanding of the cultural, social, and political environment and results in reaching the most vulnerable in a sustainable way. Working in this way helps build and sustain healthy Church organizations and local nonprofits, while also improving access to adequate water.
