Carisma Gives Back
Introduction
Carisma, as a company, is dedicated to making meaningful contributions to society through various initiatives. Our commitment to social responsibility is evident in our extensive philanthropic efforts. Over the years, we made substantial donations to several organizations and causes, demonstrating our dedication to creating a positive impact.
L-istrina
Carisma donated 1500 limited-edition keychains as a token of our appreciation for the first 1500 generous pledges of over 300 euros, valuing a total contribution of €52,485.
Individuals Facing Health Problems
Prominent contributions, such as offering financial aid to individuals confronting health obstacles, involved giving €3,500 to Kate Ferriggi, who suffers from Tatton Brown Rahman Syndrome, and €1,000 to Yasmine's Journey.
Ursuline Sisters of St. Angela Merici
During the festive season of Christmas, our hearts were filled with the spirit of giving, prompting us to extend a gesture of kindness to the Ursuline Sisters of St. Angela Merici. Recognizing the invaluable work they do for the community, we decided to contribute €1,500 in vouchers to facilitate the purchase of clothes and toys for the children under their care. These vouchers were intended to not only provide essential items but also to bring joy and excitement to the children as they selected their own presents.
We are thrilled to continue our support for the Ursuline Sisters of St. Angela's with an additional donation of €3,500. This contribution reflects our ongoing commitment to their mission of serving the community with compassion and dedication. The Ursuline Sisters play a vital role in providing education, spiritual guidance, and support to those in need, enriching the lives of many.
Neolithic Collection
Our Neolithic Collection is a homage to the great people who came before us and have left the mark of their greatness inside each of us. Inspired by the wonderful temples at Ħagar Qim, which is not only a local site that we should be proud of but a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the ‘Neolithic Collection’ brings together the many beautiful aspects of these sacred spaces. In recognition of the importance of heritage preservation, Carisma donated €10,000 to Heritage Malta for jewellery restoration services.
Jewellery Donations
Donations of €420 worth of jewellery were made to YMCA Malta and another jewellery donation to Għabex Co Aġenzija Appoġġ. These contributions reflect our commitment to supporting organizations that provide vital services to our community. YMCA Malta offers valuable programs and resources to empower young people and promote their well-being, while Għabex Co Aġenzija Appoġġ provides essential support to individuals and families facing difficult circumstances. Through these donations, we aim to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those served by these organizations, helping to foster a brighter and more inclusive future for all.

Intricately designed to look like a hand signing ‘I love you’, this hand pendant sends a magnificent message of inclusion to everyone who sees it. String it on any of our CARISMA chains or perhaps even one of our bracelets, and show the world that there is more than one way to show love. A donation of €250 was given to the Deaf People Association to further help raise public awareness.
the ADHD pendant is colourful and vibrant. With its different-hued crystals placed in an infinity symbol and its wonderfully positioned CARISMA symbols, the ‘ADHD Pendant’ is the perfect piece to express uniqueness.

Chic and minimalistic, this lovely piece has a beautiful message reading ‘Ġmielek’ on its rectangular plaque. A wonderful reminder of the loveliness in simplicity, the ‘Braille Ġmielek Necklace’ shows us that beauty can be found everywhere as long as we are open to experiencing it.

The project involves 15 women from all walks of life and 15 incredible stories. It is a celebration of a host of life trajectories and narratives of women who, despite all life’s difficulties and often insurmountable obstacles, were still successful in what they set out to achieve by finding their own personal work and life balance.
