The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands Steps Up its Community Footprints Program

The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands actively engages with the local community to promote environmental awareness through its Community Footprints program, engaging local schools in conservation efforts. The resort has organised educational excursions to islands such as Dhiffushi, Thulusdhoo, Gaafaru, and Huraa. Notably, a recycling competition was held with Dhiffushi students, rewarding the winners with an educational visit to the resort, where they participated in coral restoration initiatives. The resort has also provided financial support to Solahuddin School’s Greenhouse Project, assisting students in developing sustainable agriculture through lettuce cultivation.

To further engage with local communities, The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands hosted 11 beach clean-ups throughout the year, encouraging guests and staff to participate in ocean conservation efforts in alignment with global environmental observances such as Shark Awareness Day and Earth Day. The resort has also introduced plans for a Coral Adoption Project, which would invite guests to contribute directly to marine restoration efforts.
