Do good together.

Home Bound began as an idea in 2025, driven by the belief that shelter is a human right and the foundation of well-being.

Founded by Zach Vella, Home Bound’s mission is to combine the power of movement with the urgency of assisting people experiencing homelessness.

At its heart, Home Bound is about resilience, purpose, and community. It’s about turning every step into a statement, every kilometer into a call for change, and every finish line into a new beginning for those experiencing homelessness.

What we do
Home Bound was created to turn compassion into action. Our mission is to bring awareness, assistance, and sustainable support to those affected by homelessness in Malta. We focus on four key areas:
Awareness
Breaking the stigma and silence surrounding homelessness by sharing stories, raising visibility, and sparking meaningful dialogue.
Assistance
Helping individuals and families access safe shelter, food, and social services through partnerships with local organisations.
Community Support
Working alongside the YMCA and other partners to build more shelters, improve existing facilities, and create trauma-informed spaces for young people and families.
Events
We use movement, both physical and collective, as a powerful tool for awareness and change. Through endurance challenges, we create a platform that inspires action, raises funds, and amplifies the voices of those experiencing homelessness.

PARTNERSHIP AT OUR CORE

Homelessness in Malta is more than a housing issue. It represents a loss of dignity, stability, and safety for hundreds of people every day. Behind closed doors and city streets, more individuals and families are slipping into hidden homelessness, living in temporary accommodation, cars, or unsafe conditions.

The rising cost of living, limited access to affordable housing, and growing social inequality have pushed many to the edge. What was once considered rare has become a daily reality for far too many.

Movement as a Medium

At Home Bound, movement is more than physical, it’s a catalyst for change. By pushing the limits of endurance challenges, we create a platform that raises awareness, inspires dialogue, and channels resources into real, lasting impact. Every kilometer becomes a statement, every challenge a vehicle for fundraising, and every finish line a step closer to assisting people experiencing homelessness.

because every step brings someone closer to home.
