The Educational Water Pact, a partnership between the Israeli company Y.A Maof and the Pontifical Foundation Scholas Occurrentes, that aims to Solve Water Challenges across the globe, presented their activities in an event in the Vatican with the presence of his holiness Pope Francis himself.

La tarde de este jueves, 19 de mayo, el Santo Padre lanzó el «Movimiento Educativo Internacional Scholas Occurrentes». Desde el Aula Magna de la Pontificia Universidad Urbaniana de Roma, el Pontífice sostuvo la clase inaugural de la Escuela Laudato si’, en la que participan jóvenes de diferentes países comprometidos con el cuidado de la Casa Común.

The event, with over 250 participants from 24 countries and 28 public and private water companies, was hosted by Israeli project management company Y.A. Maof together with the Vatican’s Scholas Occurrentes and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The conference brought together researchers, spiritual leaders, governmental water supply officials and water technology companies.
