About Malta Red Cross

Every day across Malta, someone needs help.

A first aider steps forward. A lifeguard enters the water. An ambulance crew responds. A volunteer answers the call.

Behind every response is a dedicated team of trained personnel and committed volunteers working together with professionalism, expertise, and compassion to protect life, support communities, and make a meaningful difference.

Our Mission

To prevent and alleviate human suffering, improving the situation of the most vulnerable people with absolute impartiality and without discrimination.
