Malta Rescue Corps (MRC, Malta)

Malta Rescue Corps (MRC) is a voluntary, charitable and not for profit organisation  created with the aim of preventing and alleviating human suffering, improving the situation of the most vulnerable people with absolute impartially without any discrimination as to gender, nationality, religion, race, class, religious or political beliefs.  Its purpose is to protect and preserve human life and to ensure respect for the human being. We aim to train and educate  youngsters so as to become better citizens.

The Corps carry out health and welfare programs for the benefit of particularly vulnerable groups, always promoting responsible co-participation with  other organizations and the population at large. We also promote and contribute to environmental protection and preservation while supporting civil society by acting as  auxiliary to the Maltese government, civil protection authorities and health department in terms of health and civil protection matters.

The organization  is an autonomous organisation independent of the State, political parties and churches.We are  a non-profitable organization open to children and adolescents from 6 years of age as well as adults.

We aim to educate and offer opportunities to young people to integrate other youths coming from disadvantaged backgrounds, disability, economic and so forth. Although it is a non-profitable organization, we do fundraising activities, so that we can buy the necessary equipment for our own training or to help other persons in need. A committee is responsible for the laying down of policies of the organisation.

The Committee organises a series of activities throughout the year. We strongly believe that not all learning happens in the classroom and young people need experiences outside the classroom to become committed, responsible and fulfilled citizens of the world.

Some of the activities that we organise include:

• Training camps;
• First aid courses;
• Ambulance service;
• Health and safety awareness campaigns;
• Environmental awareness campaigns;
• Life skills and team building activities;
• Community service
