This extraordinary challenge is being undertaken by David Gauci and Redent Roderick Spiteri, who are dedicating their journey to support two causes close to their hearts: Hospice Malta & Friends of Don Bosco. Friends of Don Bosco, work to empower young people to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope. Through every kilometre travelled, T2M transforms physical endurance into a powerful act of solidarity – a way of putting hope in motion. Click here to learn more about this campaign.
For over 20 years, young girls facing poverty, abandonment and social hardship in Madagascar have found protection and care through a Salesian residential project run by the Comunità della Missione Don Bosco (CMB). Today, these girls need your help more than ever. As they grow older, they require not only shelter, but real opportunities for education, guidance and employment. A new phase of the project in the capital, Antananarivo, will provide safe accommodation, dedicated educators and practical support to help them transition into independent, dignified adult life. Friends of Don Bosco Malta is raising funds to sponsor these vulnerable girls – covering housing, food and education.

For the first time, four volunteers will be organising a summer camp experience for Burundi street children. The volunteers will help in four Salesian houses by animating activities for young children together with local volunteers. The funds collected will be used to organise the summer activities and will contribute to the education and care of these young street children.
