Dusit Resorts in the Maldives, comprising Dusit Thani Maldives and the soon-to-open dusitD2 Feydhoo Maldives, have partnered with MOMS Aid to support families facing financial hardship during the holy month of Ramadan. The initiative was marked by a special event at Salt Café and Restaurant, where essential food items were donated for the Ramadan Aid 2025 campaign.
The Ramadan Aid campaign, launched by MOMS Aid in 2020, provides food baskets filled with essential staples to families in need across the Maldives. This year, with over 260 families registered for assistance, MOMS Aid aims to extend its support to 500 families. Thanks to the generosity of Dusit Resorts in Maldives and its team members, 178 families will receive much-needed aid.
A Commitment to Community and Women’s Empowerment
The event was inaugurated by Jean-Louis Ripoche, Area General Manager of Dusit Resorts in Maldives, and Mauroof Mohamed, Cluster Director of Human Resources. In his address, Jean-Louis expressed pride in Dusit’s commitment to supporting families, especially mothers, stating:
“Mothers are the foundation of any family. We are honored to contribute to this initiative, ensuring that families across the Maldives have the support they need during Ramadan.”
Mauroof Mohamed highlighted how the initiative began as an internal effort to provide Ramadan gifts but quickly evolved into a larger donation campaign. He added:
“Both of our resorts have come together to support this cause, and it is truly inspiring to see the collective generosity of our team.”
Representatives from MOMS Aid, the Chefs Guild of Maldives, and Hope for Women also attended, emphasizing the importance of corporate partnerships in community welfare.
