Welcome to Fondazzjoni Sebħ Accompanying children and families in their journey towards reaching their full potential by providing community, residential, and educational theurapeutic services. Help us Help

Fondazzjoni Sebħ strives to nurture an environment for growth, recovery and fulfillment ensuring the dignity and value of each individual, children and families for a more inclusive society.

To accompany children and families in their journey towards reaching their full potential by providing community, residential, and educational therapeutic services.

The mission of Fondazzjoni Sebħ began in 1956 when the Archdiocese of Malta decided to coordinate the work done with children living in residential homes run by male and female religious congregations. Fondazzjoni Sebħ was initially known as Ufficju Djoċesan Djar tat-Tfal and later changed to Ufficju Ejjew Għandi. In 2018 the entity registered itself as an NGO and in 2019 it became established as Fondazzjoni Sebħ VO/1622. Since 1952, the primary focus was on Children’s Homes. This changed in 2000 when the Archdiocese of Malta opened Dar Qalb ta’ Ġesu, a second-stage shelter for survivors of domestic violence which is now called Il-Milja. This shelter was the first of its kind in Malta as it focussed on empowering women and children to reintegrate into the community, independent from their abuser. Since then Fondazzjoni Sebħ has also incorporated a Community Prevention Service which covers the areas of Hamrun and Marsa.
