BML Community Fund supports the development of a reading area in Maafushi

A reading area has been established in K. Maafushi under the BML’s Community Fund initiative. The project, ‘Foiy Gunzaru' was carried out by New Star Sports Club with the aim of providing island residents and travelers a space to read and relax.

Located in the island’s harbour area, the Foiy Gunzaru is equipped with benches outside and bean bags inside the premises; and has books suitable for all ages.

Commenting on the project, New Sports Club said Foiy Gunzaru will be a great spot for residents and tourists alike to meet, relax and read. With a wide range of books available, the club hopes everyone can expand their knowledge and make the most of their time at the space.

As of today, the Bank has provided financial assistance for 65 projects across the country through this Fund. BML has supported 3 projects in Kaafa Atoll including projects in Gaafaru, Kaashidhoo and Maafushi.
