To mark its centenary year, the Company afforded special funds through the Foundation, in order to realise some extraordinary projects. These were:

  • a monument of two gifted architects connected so closely with the building of Valletta: Francesco Laparelli and Girolamo Cassar;
  • the setting up of ‘Fondazzjoni Dar il-Hena’, made up of Caritas Malta, the Government and The Alfred Mizzi Foundation, which inaugurated the first shelter home in Malta, Dar Papa Franġisku, providing meals or temporary shelter for persons in crisis;
  • a sponsorship of €50,000 for a health study survey named ‘SAĦĦTEK –Health and Well being’, aimed at studying the burden of diabetes in Malta.
