During two televised telethons – Festa ta’ Ġenerożità and L-Istrina, thousands of generous Melita subscribers made a donation towards Id-Dar tal-Providenza and the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation.
As a way of supporting these organisations’ work, as well as thank their customers for their generosity, Melita topped up the amount donated by their customers by an additional €1 for every subscriber that made a donation.
During the Boxing Day L-Istrina approximately 20,000 Melita subscribers made a donation towards the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation. Melita donated a further €20,000 to the cause.
