The Feast of Generosity in aid of id Dar tal-Providenza will be getting underway later this morning in the big tent at the Home’s parking area in Siggiewi.

The Director of the Home, Mgr Martin Micallef explained that as in previous editions, the Festa ta’ Generozita will be broadcast on the main television stations between 10.00am and midnight. At 9:30am, TVM2 will broadcast live a New Year’s day Mass led by Archbishop Mgr Charles J. Scicluna from the Home’s chapel.

Mgr Micallef said that 2025 was a special year for the Home as it celebrated its 60th year from its founding. This event was commemorated through the investment of two flats in Siggiewi which will each be hosting three residents who are currently living at id-Dar tal-Providenza in Siggiewi.

The Home is also refurbishing an apartment in Hamrun in which a person with disability will be residing with the necessary support. This is part of the Home’s strategy for the years to come that will be focusing on deinstitutionalising its operational core in the light of the principles of the United Nations Convention for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities by offering more residential services in the community as well as other support alternatives according to the person’s wishes.

Apart from this, during 2025 a refurbishing project of a flat in Villa Papa Giovanni in Siggiewi that offers a dignified environment for those living in it has been completed. The Home continued to invest in human resources by employing professionals, providing ongoing training for its employees, purchasing new equipment, regular maintenance, and other projects to continue improving its services.

Fr Martin said that during all these years the Home could only offer these residential services thanks to the continuous support of the people of Malta and Gozo.

He added that the Festa ta’ Generozita, is an annual appointment for it to turn to the Maltese and Gozitans for their financial support to enable it to continue with its work. In actual fact, the Home needs around 7 million euros annually to cover its operational costs.
