Bank of Maldives has announced the refurbishment and upgrading of Home for People with Special Needs (HPSN) in K. Guraidhoo as part of the series of 12 high-impact monthly community initiatives to celebrate the Bank’s 40th anniversary in November.

Commenting on the project, Bank of Maldives CEO and Managing Director Tim Sawyer said “We are pleased to support the refurbishment of HSPN and provide a solution to the current issues faced by both staff working at the Centre and residents living under state care. The refurbishment will ensure the areas that require major upgrades are up to standard including the new Children’s Ward that will help support care of children under its care. We hope that these changes will have a lasting impact on residents’ lives.”
