It is with great satisfaction that on behalf of all Vodafone employees I am donating €3,600 to the Malta Community Chest Fund. This NGO is one of the most loved charitable organisations on our islands and our donation shows the need for continuos support for their exceptional work carried out throughout the year.”

“To value and help people in need is a true value,” said Mrs Abela. “Vodafone’s contribution will help us with our varius projects, providing funds for the relief of poverty, famine, sickness, disability and any other needs to individauls, communities, institutions or organisations alike”.

The Malta Community Chest Fund is one of three charities to whom Vodafone are donating money from the Employee Charity Scheme funds for this year and this is just a part of the total sum collected from employees through a monthly donation taken directly from their salary. The Malta Community Chest Fund is a charitable institution chaired by The President of Malta to help philanthropic institutions and more importantly individuals with different needs. Throughout the year, various activities such as balls, concerts, exhibitions, fun runs and the television fund raising programme l-Istrina are organised by the Fund to raise much needed funds. The Malta Community Chest Fund also provide education and support to children who have been in care systems and to the underpriviledged.
