OURTIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru Resort’s Commitment to Community & Sports
BY AYAASHA ISHAAQ – We are delighted to share that we have sponsored Dhangethi Volley Team in the 2024 Adh. Atoll Volley tournament.
In the dynamic world of sports and community engagement, strategic sponsorships play a pivotal role in not only supporting events but also in enhancing the overall experience for participants and spectators alike. One such notable instance is the partnership between MAM and Dhangethi Council in the Adh. Atoll Volley tournament, where our sponsorship has significantly influenced the tournament’s success and the island’s visibility on an Atoll stage.
Beyond mere financial backing, we aimed to foster a deeper connection with the local community and leverage the tournament as a platform to showcase their values and contributions. The sponsorship provided by MAM enabled Dhangethi Council to upgrade its sports jersey and purchase quality volleyballs and other items needed for the tournament, ensuring all the players were provided with all the items needed. This investment left a legacy for future sporting events. Beyond the tournament itself, MAM actively engaged with the local community through outreach programs and youth development initiatives. These efforts not only enriched the tournament experience but also left a positive impact on Dhangethi by fostering a sense of pride and unity among its residents.
In conclusion, this collaboration underscores the potential of strategic partnerships to drive positive change and inspire future generations through the power of sports and community involvement. As it serves as a model for how businesses can effectively leverage sponsorships to make a meaningful impact on both local communities.
