A 53-hour volleyball marathon is being held in aid of the Dar tal-Providenza between July 8 and 10.
The marathon, launched this morning during a "StreetVolley" activity at Ta' Qali, will be held at the home, which houses 100 residents.
Home director, Fr Martin Micallef said that substantial funds were required to run the home, which last year ended with a deficit of 500,000 euros.
