Madifushi Private Island has embarked on an ambitious  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 November 25th at M. Rayimandhoo with the participation of  Madifushi Private Island's management, MIC Group board members, and representatives from local  and island councils. 

A Commitment to Sustainability and Community 

Ibrahim Shareef Mohamed, Managing Director of MIC Group, expressed gratitude to the local councils  for their support. He highlighted the company's dedication to fostering strong relationships with the  communities of Meemu Atoll. 'We are deeply thankful to the councils for the support they have shown  to our team,' he said. '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”.  

Ali Shakir, Group General Manager of MIC Group, emphasised the resort's dedication to promoting  sustainability and community empowerment, reiterating the importance of the coconut palm planting  project as a significant step toward achieving these goals.  

Planting for the Future 

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. 

This initiative aligns with the Maldives government's goal of planting 5 million trees, as announced by  President H.E. Dr. Mohamed Muizzu on World Environment Day. 

A Luxurious Retreat Committed to Sustainability 

Madifushi Private Island offers a luxurious escape, combining elegant accommodations, world-class  dining, and a range of recreational activities. The resort is committed to eco-friendly practices, ensuring  the preservation of the Maldives' natural beauty for future generations. 

"As caretakers of this pristine island paradise, we believe in taking proactive measures to maintain its  ecological balance and cultural richness," stated Mohamed Hilmy, General Manager of Madifushi  Private Island. "Through our collective efforts, we are not only planting trees but also fostering a legacy  of sustainability and resilience."  

By planting 5,000 coconut trees, Madifushi Private Island is making a significant contribution to the  environment and the local communities of Meemu Atoll. This initiative underscores the resort's  commitment to sustainable tourism and its role as a responsible corporate citizen.
