As October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we are proud to introduce a special collection dedicated to this important cause. Cancer affects us all—whether you’re a daughter, mother, sister, coworker, friend, doctor, or patient. In support of those facing this battle, we at Carisma have designed five stunning jewelry pieces. Additionally, we have donated €2,000 to the Marigold Foundation as part of our commitment to this cause.

Carisma donated a sum of money to the Valletta Cruise Port's Social Club as part of this year's 'Back to School' initiative. Through this initiative, 55 children from various homes around Malta were provided with a wide variety of arts and crafts sets, backpacks, pencil cases, colouring books, and other general supplies in preparation for the start of the 2024 school year.

Five gifts were donated to five women as a gesture of appreciation. A girl, aged 6, and a boy, aged 3, both have a rare condition called MEF2C Haploinsufficiency Syndrome. They are the only known cases in Malta, with approximately 380 cases diagnosed globally. There is currently no cure for this condition. However, people from various countries have raised significant funds and initiated a research program for a cure in collaboration with the University of California Medical School. Recently, Boston Children's Hospital joined the efforts, and in October, assessments of affected children and a conference will take place in Boston.

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.

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.

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.

This contribution will go towards providing vital assistance, including accommodation, transportation, and emotional support, to families navigating the difficult journey of childhood illness.

Another initiative involved partnering with the Karl Vella Foundation to provide lockets to children who lost a parent due to terminal illness, reflecting our compassion and understanding of the challenges faced by individuals in difficult circumstances.

A generous contribution of €1,000 was extended to the LifeCycle Malta Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting individuals facing various health challenges.

The aim of the movement is to give a better life to so many children living on the streets of Brazil, Ethiopia, and Kenya. This contribution will support their ongoing efforts in providing aid and services to those in need.

Carisma donated €1,000 to the San Gejtanu Band Club in Ħamrun in memory of Carlos and Martina's late grandfather, Alphonse Farrugia, who was the president of this band club.
