Pledge Description
In many mission countries, children suffer from disabilities caused by malnutrition, leaving them unable to walk. Without a wheelchair, they’re confined to one spot or forced to crawl. Maltese and Gozitan missionaries provide wheelchairs through donations, giving these children mobility and dignity. A €250 pledge can transform a child’s life.

About This Campaign
In mission countries where Maltese or Gozitan missionaries work, we often encounter people—mostly children—who, due to their own malnutrition and that of their mothers before birth, suffer from a form of disability that prevents them from walking properly because their legs do not function as they should.
As a result, these children end up destined to spend their lives seated on a wooden or plastic chair, as their families cannot afford to buy a wheelchair that would allow them to move around and at least get some fresh air outside.
Through the il-Missjoni Bżonnok marathons, Maltese and Gozitan missionaries are able to purchase these wheelchairs, which make the lives of these children much easier and more dignified. Instead of being stuck in one spot on a chair, or dragging themselves across the floor, these children can be taken outside and even pushed around in the countryside surrounding them.
With a Star Pledge of €300 for wheelchairs, many children in poor mission countries will benefit. Your donation today could literally mean a new beginning for them.
