Beyond the Moon
We have been working with The Children in Need Foundation for many years now.
Together we have been able to bring smiles and happiness to numerous Maltese sick children and their families by offering them precious moments during a cost-free
all-in vacation at Disneyland Paris.

Fondazzjoni Sebh
We reached out to The Children in Need Foundation during the pandemic to assist us in strengthen the WiFi system of two of our residential homes. This facilitated the online schooling experience of our children.
This became a positive collaboration and over the past years they stood by us whenever we reached out to them, making sure to brighten the days of children in our care. Thank you for your ongoing and prompt support.

In every possible way, The Children in Need Foundation genuinely seeks to provide support to vulnerable children.
Their satisfaction is putting a smile back on children’s faces and they do a very good job at that! Thanks Dan and team!
