The Vodafone Malta Foundation recently worked with the Arka Foundation by sponsoring new medical equipment for residents and clients.

This equipment will help residents live a better life and will financially relieve the foundation.

“The project is yet another initiative by the Vodafone Malta Foundation, whose main aim is to support the community in which we work,” said Ġemma Mifsud Bonnici, chairwoman of the Vodafone Foundation.

“The foundation is proud to be intrumental in the realisation of this project, always seeking to give something back to the community and making people’s lives just that little bit better.”

The Arka Foundation in Gozo has been caring for people with special needs for the past 12 years. It has provided various services to a large number of disabled people and their families.

Originally, when Dar Arka was inaugurated, the main purpose was to deliver a respite service.

With huge investment, through several projects sponsored by the Vodafone Malta Foundation, Arka now offers other therapeutic facilities not just for those living at Dar Arka, but even for those who need to make use of specialised equipment, such as the multi-sensor studio, the gym, the darkroom and the playing field.

The new equipment, including crutches, walking frames, wheelchairs and ripple mattresses, are not only used at Dar Arka but can also be loaned to those who develop a temporary disability or to those who cannot afford to buy the equipment they need.

“We always found support in previous projects,” said Arka Foundation director Fr Manwel Curmi.
