Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and Mrs Michelle Muscat paid an official visit to Dar tal-Providenza in Siġġiewi.
This year the home is commemorating the 50th anniversary of its founding by Mgr Mikiel Azzopardi. Dar tal-Providenza was set up with the aim of offering a home with a warm and family-like environment for persons with special needs who, for various reasons, cannot keep on living with their family. During the past five decades the Home has supported its residents to participate in and enjoy the quality of life within the community. Currently Dar il-Providenza hosts approximately one hundred persons.
