In-kind
JA Malta needs supplies!
With a growing team of employees and volunteers, JA Malta are looking at upgrading printers and kitchen equipment as they are very old and starting to cause problems. If anyone is refurbishing their offices or has any heavy-duty office printer or kitchen equipment like a small microwave, toaster, or minifridge, this would be very helpful to help the organisation.
Additionally, they alays seek new collaborators and partners through in-kind or financial support.
If intersted, contact Matthew directly.
