The partnership was formalised by signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), outlining the key terms of their collaboration, mainly to promote the spirit of voluntarism, instill positive values among the homeless through spiritual enrichment and empower them to make good decisions that will enhance their progress towards re-integration in society.
The Minister for Employment and Social Affairs, Mrs Patricia Francourt, commended the initiative by expressing her gratitude to Melodi Lafanmiy for bringing the extra support that will empower users of the Night Shelter.
A member of Melodi Lafanmiy, Mrs Flocia Jacqueline, called attention to the fact that anyone can fall in life but it’s important they receive help to get through tough challenges.
Melodi Lafanmiy has been engaging with the Night Shelter since September 2024 through various undertakings, including clean-up activities, International Men’s Day event, the Night Shelter’s 10 year anniversary celebration and Christmas festivities.
The association comprises of 52 members aged 4 to 72 years but only those 16 years and above are allowed to partake in activities at the facility.
