DEFINING OUR AGENCY’S HEART

MITA Cares approach to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reflects the way that the Agency is taking to ensure that its employees are and remain good corporate citizens. Social responsibility encompasses everything we do that has an impact on society around us, reflects our values and behaviour as an organisation. MITA Cares regularly organise events and encourages employees and their families to participate, and where possible volunteer in their organisation. Through these programmes we proactively improve our community and promote a culture of responsibility.

Apart from supporting MITA employees, who are at times undergoing personal difficulties, MITA Cares continued to engage with NGOs and entities such as ALS, Puttinu, Caritas, Aġenzija Appoġġ, and the MCCFF. This support comes through ICT hardware donations, financial contributions, food donations, logistical support and employees voluntary work. MITA also supports the National Blood Transfusion Service campaign through blood donations including blood drives.

This year, MITA Cares embarked on an ambitious project to upgrade the WIFI infrastructure at id-Dar tal-Providenza. The project will see that all grounds at id-Dar tal-Providenza will be WIFI enabled. This will be accessible by the Administration staff, the residents, and their visitors.
