SUN SIYAM VILU REEF CONTRIBUTES TO SUSTAINABILITY WITH TREE PLANTING PROJECT IN F. MAGOODHOO

Sun Siyam Vilu Reef, in line with its commitment to sustainable and eco-conscious practices, organized a tree planting project in F. Magoodhoo on the 25th of October, 2023, planting a total of 155 trees. The initiative primarily focused on areas designated for the construction of an airport, with the core objective of enhancing the ecological balance and promoting environmental consciousness within the community.
Under the leadership of Resort Manager Thoha Yoosuf and Vilu Reef’s Family Club Chairman, Mohammed Hameed (Printey), along with 30 dedicated employees, the Sun Siyam team embarked on a significant journey to the pristine island of Maghodhoo, marking the continuous celebration of the Sun Siyam Vilu Reef Silver Jubilee.
