The Maldives Autism Association on Monday received pledges from telecom giant Dhiraagu and the newly-opened Gloria Jean’s Coffee outlet on the occasion of World Autism Awareness Day.
Dhiraagu pledged to build a playground outside MAA’s building while Gloria Jean’s signed a MoU with the group at the opening ceremony of its restaurant at the Rasfannu beach pavilion last night.
The assistance will be used to broaden and improve therapy services at the Autism Centre, MAA programme director Shafeenaz Saeed told the Maldives Independent.
“There are 95 kids registered at MMA that we provide therapy for, out of which 75 receive therapy five times a week,” she said.
