The Atmosphere Foundation, the charitable arm of the major Indian Ocean hospitality firm Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts, has financed a healthy aging outreach initiative on the island of Makunudhoo in the northern Haa Dhaal Atoll.

The initiative is organized by the local NGO Aged Care Maldives in partnership with the Makunudhoo Council and the Health Centre. The program, which runs from February 7-9, is being carried out by a team from EyeCare Maldives and Hulhumalé Hospital.

Aged Care Maldives is a non-profit and non-governmental organization that serves the needs of the elderly and their family. The organization’s goals are to promote healthy aging, encourage elders to be productive members of the community, and help those in need retain their identity.
