maltatoday | SUNDAY • 21 JANUARY 2023 8 COMMERCIAL A year in review - MITA Cares AS we bid farewell to 2023, MITA proudly reviews a year filled with impactful endeav- ours through its Corporate Social Responsibility arm, the MITA Cares Commit- tee. Committed to fostering positive change, MITA has consistently demonstrated its dedication to societal well-be- ing, with employees actively participating in various initia- tives throughout the year. MITA Cares is fuelled by in- ternal donations, a testament to the self-sufficiency of the organisation within MITA. These internal contributions serve as the driving force be- hind the committee's numer- ous achievements, ranging from organised events to item distributions. Throughout the year, the MITA Cares Committee has achieved significant positive social impact by managing pledges for three substantial charitable fund-raising tele- thons in Malta, deploying ded- icated MITA volunteers who successfully processed thou- sands of donations. In addition to organising multiple "Blood Donation Drives," MITA em- ployees collectively donated a substantial amount of blood, contributing significantly to community well-being. The committee also made a differ- ence by collecting groceries and toiletries from MITA em- ployees and delivering them to local food banks in support of families in need. MITA Cares furthered its impact by collect- ing and donating used laptops and tablets to children from economically challenged fam- ilies, ensuring their continued education at home through collaboration with a receiving NGO. Sponsorship of an ac- tivity allowed several young children to experience an out- ing together, creating lasting memories. The committee's fi- nancial support through NGO intervention and verification has aided numerous families and individuals in need, assist- ing with financial needs or spe- cific materials. MITA's contribution to re- furbishing and upgrading the computer network at Puttinu apartments in Sutton during August not only enhanced the browsing experience for pa- tients but also allowed fami- ly members to continue their work and maintain better con- tact with relatives and friends. Quarterly initiatives involved providing residencies of small- er NGOs with a one-off sup- ply of groceries and toiletries. MITA Cares also supported NGOs by internally communi- cating the sale of their things, including seasonal items for fundraising purposes. Envi- ronmental initiatives included contributing to two projects involving the purchase and planting of trees in localities. The committee's commitment extended to collecting and do- nating toys and clothes to a children's home, bringing joy to young residents. Lastly, MI- TA Cares supported the travel needs of non-profit organisa- tions, facilitating face-to-face support for patients abroad and contributing to meaning- ful healthcare initiatives. MITA Cares remains com- mitted to its mission to uplift those in need within society. Looking ahead, the commit- tee aims to broaden its reach, extending a helping hand to more vulnerable groups and providing assistance wherev- er possible and applicable. As MITA continues to prioritise Corporate Social Responsibili- ty, the positive impact on com- munities and individuals is set to grow in the years to come. Matthew Catania
