Velaa Private Island: A Remarkable Supporter of Non-Profits, Contributing MVR 750K in Annual Donations

The beyond-luxury Velaa Private Island Maldives resort in the Noonu Atoll once again donated MVR 750,000 to three non-profit/non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Malé on May 14, 2023, as part of the resort's annual giving program and to mark a successful start to the year.

As part of Velaa's charitable initiative, MVR 250,000 was donated to Care Society, Cancer Society of the Maldives, and Maldivian Thalassemia Society. Support for these three medical organizations began in 2018 to coincide with the resort's fifth anniversary.

"We are happy to be able to repay the Maldivian community for their ongoing support throughout the years in order to do our part once more. It is amazing to learn more about the organizations' successes and the improvements they are making to the local populations, according to Wayne Milgate, general manager of Velaa Private Island in the Maldives.
