Top on the President’s development agenda for Maafaru is the urgent need to upgrade healthcare facilities.

Further reinforcing his commitment to youth and future generations, President Muizzu announced that four additional classrooms will be built to enhance the island’s education infrastructure. In the same vein, he confirmed that arrangements are underway to support sports development, aligning with the administration’s holistic approach to community well-being.
As part of major infrastructure transformation plans, President Muizzu declared that physical road construction works are scheduled to begin by year-end. He also emphasized that with Maafaru’s strategic international airport, the government will ensure its development meets global standards—boosting economic potential and connectivity for the region.
In addressing one of the nation’s most critical needs—affordable housing—the President confirmed Maafaru’s inclusion in a new round of housing projects slated for launch in 2026. He pledged that pressing community issues would continue to be resolved with urgency and care.
Underscoring progress already achieved, the President formally inaugurated the island’s newly completed sewerage system—a key milestone in improving public health and sanitation.
