As part of Dhiraagu’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts to empower vulnerable communities, Dhiraagu has supported the Blind and Visually Impaired Society of the Maldives (BVISM) and Maldives Deaf Association (MDA) to host inclusive community events in AA Ukulhas and K Guraidhoo. The events were held to mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

BVISM conducted activities in AA. Ukulhas on 2 December 2022 for residents of the island and authorities. The activities consisted of sensitising workshops for the community as well as an inclusive festival for the community.

Events were held by MDA in K. Guraidhoo, with the engagement of the Home for People of Special Needs (HPSN) in the island. This included sensitising workshops for staff of HSPN as well as the Guraidhoo Island Council and Health Centre. A special festival for the community was also held in the evening. The aim of the sessions was to create awareness towards building inclusiveness and acceptance among the community.

Dhiraagu remains committed to providing programme-based assistance and initiatives in the area of supporting children, empowering young people and vulnerable communities in our society.
