The Malta Trust Foundation:
The Malta Trust Foundation (TMTF) was established by Her Excellency, Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca in 2015, with the specific purpose to develop initiatives that support children, young people and communities that are facing particular challenges who are at risk of poverty or social exclusion. The Foundation brings together academics, psychosocial professionals, the business community, and civil society organisations with the aim of delivering a tangible impact in gaps within existing services. The Foundation stresses the importance of not duplicating current services and support, which are already being offered by other entities. The Foundation seeks to support vulnerable communities through initiatives that are both educational and empowering in aiding individuals to reach their full potential, with an emphasis on projects of a psychosocial nature.
