About Puttinu Cares Foundation
One of Malta’s foremost philanthropic organizations is undoubtedly the Puttinu Cares Foundation. Practically every soul locally knows who Puttinu are, and about the sterling work they do in Children’s cancer support, a service that also extends to the families. Most of the work they do is done behind closed doors and without much fanfare, as was and is the ideals of the late and beloved founder Dr.Victor Calvagna and his untiring collaborator Rennie Zerafa together with his wonderful team, ably led by Angele Cuschieri.
The families that have somehow reached for assistance from Puttinu are solid testament to the high and discreet level of support they have been given by Puttinu Cares. Here they have found a family within the family, and it is a sure fact that in one way or another we are sure to have either friends, or families that have needed and acquired the support of Puttinu, and the level of support they acquired has been second to none.
Presently 60 – 90 patients from Malta travel to the UK every month. Puttinu has an ongoing project in the UK that has been working on for some time. All the donations collected during this event will go directly to Puttinu.
