Conrad Maldives Rangali Island has partnered with the government to provide internship opportunities to children at the country’s main orphanage.
At a ceremony held at Conrad Maldives’ Ithaa Undersea Restaurant last week, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by the resort’s General Manager Stefano A. Ruzza and gender ministry’s Programme Manager Jalaa Zuhuree.
As part of the partnership, children aged 16-18 at the Children’s House orphanage will have the opportunity to complete a year-long internship at Conrad Maldives. It will enable them to further pursue a career in hospitality and tourism — the mainstay of Maldivian economy.
“It’s our aim to provide knowledge and training to the children under our care, so that they’ll have the necessary skills to pursue employment opportunities in the future,” gender minister Zeneesha Shaheed Zaki said, at the ceremony.
Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is located in South Ari Atoll and is accessible by a 30-minute seaplane flight from the Maldives main airport.
As one of the Maldives’ leading resorts and one of Hilton Worldwide’s flagship properties, the award-winning Conrad Maldives Rangali Island resort offers 150 villas and suites, 12 restaurants and bars, two spas — all stretched over two remote islands. It features the Ithaa Undersea Restaurant, world’s first undersea restaurant made from only glass.
