The FIDEM Charity Foundation is a non-profit organisation providing support and empowerment opportunities to vulnerable women, adolescent girls and children across Malta and Gozo through life-changing access to education and wellbeing guidance. 

Our Educate to Empower Programme funds educational courses and learning materials such as books and laptops for women and adolescent girls who have found a learning opportunity which would positively impact their future, but cannot currently pursue it without financial support.

We aim to enable our Educate to Empower Programme participants to achieve their career and life goals, and we stand alongside them throughout their educational journey both practically and emotionally to provide fully rounded support. This includes assistance with job placements once they are ready to take their next steps.

We provide access to psychological support services for our participants too if required - enabling them to work on overcoming their emotional and mental wellbeing concerns so that they can focus on their education. 

Our "Hear to Help" Helpline on +356 9932 0977 was set up to support people who have wellbeing or legal concerns due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their everyday lives, in line with our ethos of supporting the wellbeing of vulnerable people.

If required we refer helpline callers to our partner psychologists for ongoing support with their mental health, or to our partner lawyers for assistance with their legal issues. These are both free services. 

In May 2020 we launched an ambitious new project - a wellbeing platform called We Connect at www.weconnect.org.mt 

We Connect provides a positive, safe online space where people across Malta and Gozo can come together as a community to prioritise their wellbeing and find happiness in every day. We have a highly active, thriving We Connect Facebook group - search "We Connect Malta" to join.
