ElectroGas Malta employees build, donate bicycles to Ukrainian refugee children

ElectroGas Malta employees recently transformed a team-building event into a support initiative by building bicycles that were donated to Ukrainian refugee children living in Malta.

True to the company’s approach of giving meaning to everything it does, the activity went beyond a typical team exercise. Colleagues worked side by side, combining collaboration with purpose, much like they do in their daily operations, seeking efficiency, impact, and results. The outcome: 10 brand-new bikes bringing children who have faced major upheaval a sense of freedom, joy, and hope.

Through this initiative, we are not only strengthening our bonds as a team but also giving these children a symbol of hope – hope for a future where they can move forward freely and confidently."

Representatives of Ukrainian Refugees in Malta also expressed their appreciation.

The financial support will help us meet essential needs and continue building a stronger, more connected community.
