The Malta Guide Dogs Found-ation will receive €200,000 from the Order of Malta to train guide dogs for the visually impaired.
Foreign Affairs Minister Tonio Borg, who has taken a personal interest in the matter, thanked the Maltese Association of the Order of Malta for the initiative and commended the foundation for its sterling work.
The venture mirrors the Order’s 900-year established vocation and mission to help those in need.
It operates in more than 120 countries.
