Bank of Maldives (BML) has announced the successful completion of projects in Gan, Laamu Atoll and Kudarikilu, Baa Atoll as part of its Community Fund which focuses on empowering individuals to contribute to society through sustainable community projects.
As part of the project, a community beach park was opened in Gan along with solar streetlights. The community beach park is now open for the public with traditional benches and a barbeque area as well as a children's play area and outdoor shower facilities.
As part of the project funded by the national bank, Kudarikilu is reducing its carbon footprint with the installation of solar-powered streetlights along the island's main road. The project will help reduce the island's electricity load and help create awareness of the importance of renewable energy.
The Community Fund is a programme to empower individuals and non-governmental organisations to contribute to their communities through sustainable projects. BML has provided financial assistance for 60 projects across the country through the fund.
