Life Network Foundation announced new residential home units for mothers and toddlers, offering additional support for women in need.

This new initiative provides ongoing support for mothers transitioning from the maternity home Dar Tgħanniqa Ta’ Omm, where pregnant women and newborns receive round-the-clock care for up to one year.

The new units will provide a secure environment, enabling residents to work or pursue further education.

These units, along with Life Network’s support, will help mothers to continue working or studying for up to three years, aiming to facilitate their return to independent living and manage their own income.

There will be six home units at the Conservatorio Vincenzo Bugeja in Santa Venera, with renovations for seven additional units underway across Malta.

The units are set to officially open on Wednesday 13th March.

This project was made possible by the generosity of the Conservatorio Vincenzo Bugeja, a charity established by Marquis Vincenzo Bugeja to support women and girls.

Today, on Women’s Day 2024, Life Network Foundation celebrates building on the success of the pregnancy help line supporting 120 women through to birth, Id f’Id Centre for baby related provisions, and the maternity residential home Dar Tgħanniqa Ta’ Omm, where 42 women have lived with their new-born babies in the months after giving birth.

CEO of Life Network Foundation Miriam Sciberras said “On Women’s Day, we celebrate every woman, especially those who have overcome great vulnerability and suffering, to become great mothers to the children. It has been a privilege to support all of them, and with this new project we will be able to continue supporting them as they become independent, building their lives with the children.”

Christie Gellel for Dar Tgħanniqa Ta’ Omm stated “it is great to be able to support the mummies who come through our home, not just in their time of greatest need, but also to help them transition into living independently with their children, we are so proud of them all.”
