At the Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives, we deeply value community contribution and environmental stewardship. Through the ‘Giving for Good’ initiative by IHG, we dedicate the entire month of September to a series of impactful activities. These are designed to enhance sustainability, support local communities, and improve the wellbeing of everyone involved. Our staff and visitors will unite to foster significant positive changes during this period.

“Giving back is something we take great pride in here at Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives,” said mark Eletr, General Manager, Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives. “Through IHG’s Giving for Good’ initiative, we’re not only creating lasting memories for our guests but also making meaningful contributions to the local communities and environment.”

In September, the resort staff will embark on a meaningful environmental project by planting trees in Maafushi. This project aims to enhance the island’s ecological health and add to its scenic charm, underscoring our enduring dedication to sustainable practices in the Maldives. Additionally, as a key aspect of our ‘Giving for Good’ program, the team plans to visit the Hulhumale Autism Centre. There, they will deliver books and toys, bringing delight to children and offering essential resources to aid their growth.

“At Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma, we believe in supporting every part of our community. We’ll be delivering care packages and will also be hosting a special lunch for the children at the Children’s Centre. This event is all about showing kindness and providing these children with essentials to make their daily lives a little easier” adds Mark.

This year, a special Blood Donation Camp will be held, inviting employees to make a meaningful impact by donating blood and giving back to the community. In addition, a ‘Walk for a Cause’ will be organized, where staff members will stroll along the scenic Kandooma Beach, coming together in solidarity to support an important initiative. This event offers a great opportunity to stay active while promoting the overall health and well-being of the broader community.

Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives is committed to making a positive difference. Our team will lead a clean-up drive at the Guraidhoo Sandbank, followed by tree planting to enhance the environment. Additionally, we’ll collaborate with locals on small renovation projects in the islands of Gulhi and Guraidhoo, aiming to create improved spaces that benefit the local communities.
