aditus foundation is a non-governmental organisation established in 2011 with a mission to monitor, report and act on access to human rights in Malta. Named for the Latin word for 'access', our work is focused on the attentive analysis of access to human rights recognition and enjoyment. Our work promotes a society where all persons are able to access and enjoy all their fundamental human rights, and access to justice and remedies should be provided in case of violations. Our focus is primarily Malta, but we also work towards highlighting the regional & international dimensions of human rights in Malta.

Brief Description of NGO/Group

A lot of our work is gathered within projects, also since most NGO funding opportunities tend to be project-oriented. However a very large percentage of our work is not contained within a project, but happens in response to current situations or due to advocacy targets that we feel are necessary to achieve. How do we prioritise themes to work on? Every three years our team, in consultation with key partners, assesses the national situation in terms of what’s happening, upcoming challenges and opportunities, existing stakeholder presence, potential for impact, and resource requirements. It is in this discussion that we develop our Strategic Plan covering three years of operations. This exercise also allows us to establish internal goals for our constant improvement in terms of efficiency and transparency. Our mission calls us to monitor, report and act on access to human rights in Malta. These are explained on our site.

Ananda Marga Yoga Society is a non-profit organization, established thirty years ago in Malta. AMYS derives its inspiration from Neohumanism, an approach in individual and collective life that extends respect for all life, from human to animals, plants and the environment. Our motto is Self Development and Service to Society and we envision a world where people care for all beings and the environment.

Brief Description of NGO/Group

AMYS also organises regular trainings and courses for students and youth from all backgrounds. Topics differ but are all in line with our principles of personal and collective development and service to society.

Currently, we are also looking into local and EU grants for additional support.
