Medserv will be supporting Din L-Art Helwa on one of its forthcoming projects – the restoration of Xlendi Tower.

The company has gone from success to success in a relatively short period of time, since being listed on the Malta Stock Exchange in 2006. Over the years it has contributed to various charities and initiatives but has now taken the decision to focus its corporate social responsibility initiatives and identify an organisation that gives back to the Maltese community as a whole.

“This has been on our agenda for a while now. We want to be able to give something back to the community and build on our social responsibility activities. We wanted to be associated with an independent organisation that is working across the country in the field of protection of heritage. Din l-Art Helwa was an obvious choice”, commented chairman Anthony Diacono.

Din l-Art Helwa is a non-governmental, non-profit, voluntary organisation founded in 1965 to safeguard the historic, artistic and natural heritage of Malta and Medserv’s sponsorship will go towards the restoration of Xlendi Tower, which was built in 1650 during the reign of Grand Master Lascaris.

The restoration will be a joint venture between Din l-Art Helwa and Munxar local council and costs will be shared on a 50/50 basis. The restoration work is planned to begin within the next few months and will take about three years.

Din l-Art Helwa depends on donations and sponsors in order to carry out its restoration projects and corporate sponsorships account for a large percentage of its income. Medserv is currently the only sponsor contributing to the Xlendi Tower project.
