Bank of Valletta (BOV) has reaffirmed its commitment to the Gozitan community by supporting Fondazzjoni Arka, a foundation that has been providing essential services to some of the most vulnerable individuals in Gozo for over 30 years.
Fondazzjoni Arka operates Dar Arka, a residential home and respite centre for individuals with disabilities. The foundation provides round-the-clock care, therapy, and support services, ensuring that those with physical and intellectual disabilities, as well as their families, receive the assistance they need to lead dignified and fulfilling lives.
Recognizing the importance of this work, BOV has supported the refurbishment of the foundation’s dining room, creating a more welcoming and functional space for residents and service users.
BOV’s CSR representatives, Cleo Almerigo and Francesco Grech, together with Gozo Branch Manager, Charmaine Borg, visited Dar Arka to meet with the foundation’s management and discuss how the Bank can continue to support its initiatives. The BOV team was also given a tour of the premises, witnessing firsthand how the Bank’s donation has contributed to enhancing the facility.
Charmaine Borg emphasized BOV’s commitment to community-driven initiatives, stating, “At BOV, we believe in being present in the communities we serve. We are a bank built by the people and for the people. Through our support for initiatives like this, we ensure that we remain the bank of the community.”
The management of Fondazzjoni Arka expressed their gratitude for BOV’s generous contribution, highlighting that such support is crucial in sustaining their services. They also look forward to continued collaboration with BOV to further enhance the care provided to individuals who rely on Dar Arka’s assistance.
Through this initiative, BOV continues to make a tangible difference, reinforcing its role as a trusted partner in building a more inclusive and supportive Gozitan community.
