The Catholic Church is active in various fields such as
Health
The Catholic Church is one of the biggest global health providers. It runs thousands of hospitals and dispensaries as well as houses for people who are elderly, chronically ill or who have physical or learning disabilities. With over 120,000 social and healthcare institutions world-wide, the Catholic Church is in many developing countries one of the key partners of the State in healthcare delivery, providing services in remote areas to rural low-income populations, enabling them to access services that would otherwise be out of their reach.
Relief of poverty
The Catholic Church works alongside people living in poverty –in countries both rich and poor– to end their suffering and to help them reach their full potential. Extreme poverty can only be ended if income and opportunity are more equal and human rights are fully promoted. The Church has extensive experience helping persons in need throughout the world operating many missions, schools, health structures and humanitarian groups. Much of the funding for poverty-focused international assistance is not given to foreign governments, but rather to catholic organizations that work directly with poor and vulnerable communities.
Education
The Church promotes and supports primary and secondary literacy projects to combat illiteracy and the dropping out of compulsory schooling; promotes an education of quality for all; attends the needs and the demands of different social and cultural environments; defends the freedom of education, and works to ensure that freedom is effectively exercised.
Refugees and Migrants
The Catholic Church accompanies migrants and refugees in their journey. The Catholic Church seeks to understand the causes of migration, but it also works to overcome its negative effects, and to maximize its positive influence on the communities of origin.
Protection of Family and Life
The life and dignity of every person must be respected and protected at every stage and in every condition. The right to life is the first and most fundamental principle of human rights that leads the Catholic Church to actively work for a world of greater respect for human life and greater commitment to justice and peace. For instance, the Catholic Church provides support to millions of people living with HIV around the world.
