A voluntary organisation that supports people with debilitating illnesses is working with the Employment and Training Corporation to help find jobs for housebound persons.
“Many sufferers have had to leave their jobs due to their ill health, and from being financially independent they end up being at risk of poverty. This initiative will help re-establish dignity and stability for some of these individuals,” the ME, CFS and Fibromyalgia Alliance Malta said.
On the occasion of awareness day for these chronic illnesses, NGO members were invited to San Anton Palace, where they launched their new information leaflets and posters in the presence of President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca.
The literature will be distributed in hospitals, clinics and health establishments.
