Bil-Malti

Doninu (Malta) International hija għaqda volontarja mhux kummerċjali li taħdem b’qalbha kollha għal dawk fil-bżonn. L-għaqda:

• Ma tiġborx donazzjonijiet ta’ flus
• Ma tirċevix fondi jew grants mingħand il-gvern
• Ma tagħmilx negozju jew attività kummerċjali
• Ma għandhiex kontijiet fil-banek u l-ebda fondi bankarji

Il-ħidma tagħna ssir b’mod kompletament volontarju, fejn ħadd mill-membri tagħna ma jitħallas. Inġibu ikel, ħwejjeġ, għamara u affarijiet domestici sabiex dawn jitqassmu lil familji vulnerabbli li jkunu għaddejjin minn żminijiet diffiċli.

Nixtiequ ninformaw ukoll li ħafna mill-kontenituri blu għall-ħwejjeġ mhumiex qed jintużaw għal karità vera. Dawn il-ħwejjeġ ħafna drabi jinbiegħu barra minn Malta minn kumpaniji privati, inkluż f’pajjiżi bħall-Italja.

Aħna nemmnu fil-karità vera – mingħajr flus, mingħajr interessi – biss b’imħabba lejn min hu fil-bżonn.

Doninu (Malta) International ma thares lejn ebda religjon jew politika partigjana. Hi lesta li tahdem ma kulħadd, mingħajr ma thares lejn il-persuna b’lenti differenti għax tkun ma’ reliġjon jew oħra, jew partit politiku jew ieħor. Il-prinċipju prinċipali tagħna huwa li aħna mhux ġudikanti u ma nistgħux niddukaw lil ħadd, dak mhux xogħolna li nigġudikaw in-nies.

In English

Doninu (Malta) International is a non-commercial voluntary organization that works wholeheartedly for those in need. The organization:

• Does not collect money donations
• Does not receive government funding or grants
• Does not engage in any commercial or business activity
• Holds no bank accounts or financial reserves

Our mission is carried out entirely by volunteers, with no one receiving payment for their service. We collect food, clothing, furniture, and household items to distribute directly to vulnerable families going through difficult times.

We also wish to raise awareness that many of the blue clothing bins seen in public are not truly charitable. Often, the items collected are sold abroad by private companies — including in countries like Italy.

We stand for real charity – without money, without profit – driven solely by love and compassion for those in need.

Doninu (Malta) International does not align with any religion or partisan politics. It is ready to work with everyone, without judging people through the lens of religion, political party, or other affiliations. Our main principle is that we do not judge and do not educate others in judgment — that is not our role.
