There are a lot of ways that a Guide Dog could change your life… Just being able to do things on your own without having to ask for help…We definitely think you could go out more because you’d have the confidence.
There are three really good reasons to help us help others. There are of course more than three, but we think three is a good number to start with.

Learn moreWho We Are
The Malta Guide Dogs Foundation is a Non-Governmental Organisation whose aim is to offer services for Visually Impaired Persons and to campaign for access to public spaces for all.
Through our work, we aim to increase awareness about the importance of Guide Dogs, and the valuable work the Foundation does in helping Visually Impaired Persons connect with the right companion to help them navigate life.
In addition, a new, fresher look has been added thanks to the research conducted and the use of a new font character aims to convey more clarity on how the NGO presents itself.
Our Figures
These are some important figures for us.
Acquiring a guide dog is very expensive and the Malta Guide Dogs Foundation relies on donations from the public to acquire these guide dogs and ultimately match them to their handler.
You have helped more than a hundred people. Every little bit makes a difference and everyone can contribute a little something to help us fulfil our mission to provide independence to people who are visually impaired.
