Bank of Maldives (BML) has donated 33 motorised wheelchairs as part of its commitment to supporting people with mobility impairments.
BML stated that it began the programme in 2017 and has now delivered over 200 wheelchairs, enhancing the quality of life for people living with physical disabilities.
BML continues to support people with disabilities through various programmes. Recently, the bank donated educational tools to aid Special Education Needs (SEN) students in 10 schools. The bank has also partnered with Maldives Deaf Association to conduct special activities on the occasion of International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
Earlier this year, BML supported the association to develop a sign language dictionary as part of their strategy to empower and promote the rights of the deaf community in Maldives. The bank has also supported Maldives Association for Persons with Disabilities to run its accessible transportation programme for people with disabilities.
