Anantara Maldives team has developed ‘Minor Hope’, a landmark initiative to instill hope among the country’s underprivileged youths through vocational guidance, education and welfare.
The overarching objective of Minor Hope is to use the Maldives’ main economic driver – tourism – to kindle optimism amongst the underprivileged youths in orphanages and underdeveloped island communities through job prospects in hospitality. To achieve this, the management team of the cluster of Anantara hotels in the South Male Atoll has partnered with the Ministry of Law and Gender to create this pioneering program.
Slated to be launched mid-February 2017, the objective of Minor Hope is to be inspiringly unique in nature, a sustainable CSR initiative linked to the Hospitality industry. The initiative will provide a viable platform for the development and growth of the country’s less privileged youth.
The team is working with the relevant authorities on the program structure which is planned to cover a one-year training stint for each youth. Following the completion of their internship, the young adults will be given the opportunity to work in any of the Anantara Maldives resorts, or potentially, other Minor properties in the Maldives.
