Helping Ukraine from Malta

Helping Ukraine from Malta

Many global charities and organisations are accepting donations to aid Ukraine, and this has inspired local institutions to do the same. 

If you want to donate to organisations based in Malta, you can reach out to the following.

Donation sites for physical donations

It started with one Polish national in Mellieha trying to fill a suitcase of donations to send to the frontlines. 

Now it’s a country-wide affair, and the local air-force is helping out with delivery. 

You can drop off your donations at: 

  • Luqa – DC Aviation – Departures Hall, Malta International Airport.
  • Valletta – Vaia Legal –  24/25 Vincenti Buildings, Strat Street. 
  • St. Julians – Alliance Jet – Level 17, Portomaso Business Tower. 
  • Birkirkara – Emperor Aviation – W Business Centre, Level 3, Triq Karmenu Pirotta. 

If you’re not sure what to donate, this event page is updated regularly with new donation needs, and if you want to make sure they reach the right place, you can contact the Honourary Ukrainian Consulate in Malta for more information. They have a warehouse in Zejtun still actively accepting donations. 

Other aid

If you have room, consider taking in a Ukrainian refugee. Hotels and small businesses have put up places for them to stay, but the rate at which they’re fleeing from their home could outpace available locations – so if you have the room, and you want to help, make room for a Ukrainian refugee. 

You can message the honourary consulate above, or leave a message on this local page or the international Accommodation, Help, and Shelter for Ukraine page.

Malta4Ukraine is also a good resource for people who want to stay updated with local initiatives and donation drives. 

Conclusion

In the face of a war that threatens not only the Ukrainian population, but the western values of choice, freedom, and safety, many of us feel powerless to help.

But we can help. 

Donate what you can: monetary or otherwise. Check in on your Ukrainian friends and neighbours. Welcome the refugees that just landed in Malta.
