Vodafone Malta Limited employees have donated Lm1,000 to each of the following charity organisations: Dar tal-Providenza, the Malta Hospice Movement and the Abandoned Animals Association. These contributions were collected through the Vodafone Employee Contribution for Charity Scheme, whereby employees donate an amount from their monthly salaries to charity. This amount also includes donations from the staff Christmas party.

Through this scheme, Vodafone employees may each year select the organisation to which the annual amount collected is donated. Employees select three local organisations from a list provided by Vodafone. Vodafone employees may also suggest a local organisation which is not on the list.

“Through this donation, Vodafone would like to show its appreciation to the dedication shown by these associations in their mission. We believe that we should all work together to help those in need in the Maltese community. We hope that our initiative encourages more companies to follow the example,” said Brian Calleja, Facilities Manager at Vodafone.

The Malta Hospice Movement is a voluntary organisation which provides and promotes the highest standards of palliative care possible for people with cancer or motor neurone disease and provides support to their families. Among other objectives, the Association for Abandoned Animals, which runs on a voluntary basis, fights against cruelty towards animals, rescues abandoned animals, promotes animal awareness, provides veterinary care and exercises pressure to introduce stricter legislations.
