25c scheme – A Social Responsibility Initiative

For 55 years Id-Dar tal-Providenza has been providing permanent residence and respite care for mpersons with disabilities. Currently it is made of three residences in Siggiewi: Villa Monsinjur Gonzi, Villa Papa Giovanni and Villa Papa Luciani as well as five cpmmunity homes: ‘Żerniq’ in Siġġiewi, ‘Akkwarell’ in Qawra, ‘Dar Pirotta’ in Birkirkara, ‘Shalom’ in Żurrieq and another home in Balluta. Giving such a service entails a considerable expense – currently running about EUR10,000 per day.

Over the years Dar tal-Providenza has managed to make ends meet thanks to Divine Providence and to the many friends and benefactors, both in Malta and abroad.

One way of raising funds is to encourage employees to make a pledge and start donating 25 Euro cents (€0.25) per week from their wages. This small amount will be deducted from their payroll and passed on to the Dar tal-Providenza bank account. From past experiences this initiative entails very little administrative work and we are sure that the majority of employees will find no objection in approving it.

Hence we are asking for your support to become part of this Scheme and encourage all employees to participate.

Employers can get more information, if necessary by sending an email to info@dartalprovidenza.org or calling on 2146 2844.

Employees who would like to join this scheme should contact their HR manager. If their work place is not yet part of this scheme they should encourage their employer to do so.
