Just launched a pilot project providing free menstrual products to 900+ students in 3 schools! 🌸 Next year, we aim to expand to all schools. Together, we’re breaking the stigma and empowering girls. 💪 #EndTheStigmaPeriod

Another vote of confidence by Moody’s. They praise our moderate debt burden, sound institutional framework, and the country’s strong trend growth, well above the Euro area’s average. They give 🇲🇹 a stable outlook because of our “wealthy and fast-growing economy.” - RA
