Sandra Calleja Foundation supports ZENCancer initiative

The Sandra Calleja Foundation is supporting Femeraid International (VO/1883) in its work with ZENCancer, an initiative that promotes the wellbeing of people affected by cancer. Its focus extends to the people around them, including family members, carers and healthcare professionals.

Founded in Brazil in 2018 and established in Portugal in 2022, ZENCancer offers free wellbeing activities such as restorative yoga practices and meditation. These activities are designed to complement medical care and give people a space to pause, connect with others and feel supported before, during and after treatment.

Femeraid International is a humanitarian organisation with a network of country units, including one in Malta. Its wider work includes emergency healthcare, rescue and assistance to people in need.

For the Sandra Calleja Foundation, supporting people affected by cancer has a personal significance. My Group established the Foundation in memory of Sandra Calleja, the late wife of Group founder Ivan Calleja. After Sandra died of cancer, her memory inspired the creation of the Convenience Shop for Puttinu Cares. The collaboration with Femeraid continues that commitment to supporting people and families affected by cancer.

The Sandra Calleja Foundation (VO/2654) is a non-profit organisation that supports initiatives in healthcare, education, environmental sustainability and community development. To learn more about its work, contact CSR@my.mt.
