Bank of Maldives (BML) has donated educational tools to 10 islands to aid special education need (SEN) students.
The donation was made to Kelaa School, Ihavandhoo School, Milandhoo School, Noonu Atoll School, Maafushi School, Thoddoo School, Thaa Atoll School, Thinadhoo Aboobakuru School, Fuvahmulak Hafiz Ahmed School and Hithadhoo Sharafudheen School.
The main difficulty faced in providing proper education to SEN students is the lack of educational tool and with the beginning of the new academic year, the donation has reached and made a positive impact in the lives of 300 students studying and receiving therapies.
BML has supported 140 projects as part of its community fund, a nationwide campaign to empower individuals to contribute to the society by conducting sustainable community projects. These projects include the donation of motorized wheelchair to enhance the quality of life for people living with physical disabilities, supporting youth development in the field of sports and supporting projects run by non-governmental organisations.
