Huvadhoo Aid (HAD) exists to enable the rural people to work effectively in promoting and advancing the interests of the rural community of the Maldives to attain basic needs. We work to build a united and strong community for the advancement of the island.
We base our actions to enable the community and NGOs to effectively promote and advance the interests, well-being of island community, and improve the effectiveness of the NGOs serving the community. Especially we seek to strengthen our actions for poverty alleviation in the community by promoting equity and equality.
As a non-profit organisation the funding sources are limited and the amount of funding which the organisation can generate is also limited. It has number of youth volunteers who work for the development of the region. Most of these volunteers are local youth. However, from time to time foreign volunteers work in Huvadhoo Aid.
