A block of Kenup & EDU office units in Kalkara have been transformed into a housing estate for 10 Ukrainian families seeking refuge after fleeing from their war-torn home country.
In a statement published by the Malta Council for Science and Technology, it was revealed that the workers were asked to work from home, with beds, wardrobes and other necessities replacing their desks and chairs as to offer refuge to the Ukrainian families.
The families will be able to stay as long as necessary and will not need to pay for accommodation and certain services, including regular meals from EsploraCafé.
MCST Executive Chairman and Kenup Director Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando stated that seeing the Ukrainian guests settled in and happy in spite of such circumstances offers courage, going on to thank anyone who contributed to such an initiative.
EDU Chief Operating Officer Alexandra Cosma stated that in an institution such as the EDU, it is important to recognise the mission to provide quality medical education and efforts must go beyond office hours to aid those in need.

Yesterday’s record-breaking sum of €3,133,430 would not have been possible without the contribution of various local entities, businesses and individuals, and Malta’s Social Causes Fund was one of the considerable contributors.
In a Facebook post published by Prime Minister Robert Abela, the Prime Minister stated that Puttinu Cares lives the experience with families and children and offers light in moments of darkness and courage in moments of resignation.
Abela highlighted that that is the reason why, during such a significant day, €50,000 from the Office of the Prime Minister’s Social Causes Fund were donated, with the aim of helping Puttinu continue to offer support to struggling families in their time of need.
As stated on the Office of the Prime Minister’s website, the Social Causes Fund generates its income through a percentage contributed from the amount of tax payable from gaming activity and unclaimed prizes. One can apply for funds after having consulted the guidelines and submitting the relevant application form.
