JOALI Maldives and its wellness-focused sister property, JOALI BEING, have opened applications for the 2025 edition of their Sustainability Fund, a distinctive initiative that underscores the resorts’ commitment to sustainable tourism and community empowerment across the serene Raa Atoll. The program offers five grants of up to USD 3,000 each to support innovative projects that promote environmental stewardship, social wellbeing, and inclusive development.
Nestled in one of the Maldives’ most pristine atolls, JOALI is more than a luxurious escape, it is a living testament to responsible hospitality. The resort’s dedication to sustainable living is interwoven through every detail of its operations, from architectural design and sourcing practices to staff welfare and community engagement.
The 2025 Sustainability Fund is guided by four core pillars:
-
Joy of Preserving – Safeguarding the Planet: This focus area supports conservation activities such as coral reef restoration and environmental awareness programs to protect Raa Atoll’s delicate ecosystem.
-
Joy of Nurturing – Fostering Wellbeing: Proposals that promote physical, emotional, and mental wellness within communities are welcomed under this pillar.
-
Joy of Empowering – Creating Platforms for Women: This pillar aims to uplift women through educational support, vocational training, and initiatives that foster female entrepreneurship.
-
Joy of Conserving – Promoting Ethical Consumption: JOALI encourages projects that tackle waste management, promote sustainable sourcing, and enhance energy and water conservation.
JOALI’s sustainability initiatives are united under the philosophy of “Joy of Caring”, which reflects the brand’s broader Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) values. Inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, this ethos drives JOALI’s continuous efforts to leave a positive footprint, ecologically and socially throughout the Maldives.
With its tranquil beaches, lush vegetation, and curated wellness experiences, JOALI Maldives is renowned for offering travellers a refined yet meaningful retreat. Beyond the indulgence, however, lies a deeper purpose: to foster harmony between luxury and nature while giving back to the community that sustains it.
Local individuals and organisations in Raa Atoll with a passion for change are encouraged to apply for the fund. Full details and application forms can be found at: www.joali.com/sustainability-and-csr-at-joali
