Madifushi Private Island embarks on a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative to plant 5,000 coconut palms across the islands of Meemu Atoll over the next year. The project was officially launched on 25th November with the participation of Madifushi Private Island’s management, MIC Group board members, and representatives from local and island councils.
Ibrahim Shareef Mohamed, the Managing Director of MIC Group, expressed gratitude to the local councils for their support, ‘We are deeply thankful to the councils for the support they have shown to our team. It is our commitment to reciprocate this kindness by working closely with the communities in the atoll, providing opportunities, and strengthening our collaboration. Under our CSR responsibility, we aim to forge stronger relationships between the group, the resort, and the islands of Meemu Atoll”.
In collaboration with local communities, Madifushi Private Island has identified key areas across Meemu Atoll for coconut palm planting, including mosques, schools, newly reclaimed lands, and the upcoming domestic airport. The targeted islands are Dhiggaru, Raiymandhoo, Mulah, Veyvah, Naalaafushi, Maduvvaree, Muli, Kolhufushi, and Madifushi Private Island itself.
“As caretakers of this pristine island paradise, we believe in taking proactive measures to maintain its ecological balance and cultural richness. Through our collective efforts, we are not only planting trees but also fostering a legacy of sustainability and resilience,” said Mohamed Hilmy, the General Manager of Madifushi Private Island.
