Bodufolhudhoo

Bodufolhudhoo (Dhivehi: ބޮޑުފޮޅުދޫ) is one of the inhabited islands of Alif Alif Atoll in the Republic of Maldives. Geography The island is 81.64 km (51 mi; 44 nmi) west of the country's capital, Malé. Bodufolhudhoo is a small island located in the central area of North Ari Atoll and surrounded by many famous tourist resorts, including Nika Island Resort, Velidoo and Gangehi. Ecology Bodufolhudhoo is the first island in the Maldives to ban single-use plastic bags. Demography Economy Bodufolhudhoo's economy has been based mostly on fishing until the early 1990s. The current economy is mainly supported by people working in the tourism industry. There are a few tourist shops on the island for the guests who come island hopping from nearby resorts. Bodufolhudhoo has over five operating guesthouses with more guest houses under development. The island council has designated a private beach (Sunset beach) specifically for the visiting tourists. The inhabitants mainly work at nearby resorts, or on the island in education, administration, healthcare, utilities, shops, restaurants and guesthouses. Healthcare There is a health centre in the island to provide basic health care service to the community. The health centre has a medical officer and two registered nurses and nearly 15 staff members. Transport As Bodufolhudhoo is an island surrounded by sea, it can only be accessed by boat. There are boats that people use for transport between the islands. Larger vessels are used to travel to and from the capital Malé and for faster transport residents use a seaplane service from the nearby resorts. The government ferry system was introduced in 2012, whereby boats became available to travel between the islands at a cheaper fare. People mostly walk on the island, but also use bicycles and motorbikes to travel from one place to another. Wheelbarrow "gaadiyaa" in different sizes are used to transport heavy materials. In the early 1990s a nationwide helicopter service was provided by Hummingbird. To this day the helipad used by Hummingbird exists in Bodufolhudhoo. References
Berinmadhoo

Berinmadhoo (Dhivehi: ބެރިންމަދޫ) was one of the inhabited islands of Haa Alif Atoll and is geographically part of the Ihavandhippolhu Atoll in the Maldives.Berinmadhoo people have been relocated to the island of Hoarafushi in the same atoll under a population consolidation programme. Berinmadhoo was one of the non-smoking islands of the Maldives with a hefty fine levied on anyone caught smoking. Population Consolidation Programme During the presidency of Ibrahim Nasir, the first relocation took place the islanders were relocated to Dhidhoo, however many of the islanders disagreed with the decision due to the limited land area of Dhidhoo and split up into different parts of the atoll some migrating as far as Raa atoll. A decade later as people were allowed to return to their home land few people went back and started repopulating. However, after some years into repopulation the government halted people from accessing land for housing (for 20 years) forcing, half of the people to migrate to male’ 174 people remained. Out of which only 40 people were living in the island. Due to the lack of facilities provided people started migrating to the nearby island Hoarafushi renting homes for educational purpose. Hence in the end there was no choice other than a relocation and a voting took place in corporation with the government and the inhabitants were relocated to the island Hoarafushi.Relocation took place after the Asian tsunami the government lied to the Red Crescent to get aid into building homes. People who were not fairly provided housing migrated to male’ and different corners of the country. Resort Island In September 2007, the government presented the islands of Berinmadhoo and Hathifushi for tourism development. This is part of the plan to extend tourism in Maldives to the northern atolls. Berinmadhoo will be one of the first resort islands in the north of the country. The resort is currently under construction and is due to be completed by December 2011. References External links Isles Profile - Berinmadhoo

Ihavandhoo

Ihavandhoo is an island of Ihavandhippolhu Atoll. It is located in the northernmost geographic atoll in the country, and is administratively part of Haa Alif Atoll. It is an Atoll-island-level administrative constituency governed by the Ihavandhoo Island Council . History The story of Mohamed Thakurufaanu (Boduthankurufaanu), the Maldivian hero who defeated the Portuguese rule in Maldives, reveals that mother of Mohamed Thakurufaanu was an Ihavandhoo lady. The island has a mosque built by Sultan Ibrahim Muhirudheen in 1701 using brain corals. Through restorations, its origin is maintained as the mosque is the only remaining archaeological evidence in Ihavandhoo island. Ihavandhoo Health Centre, a 50-bed hospital, was established in 2003. Geography The island is 314.08 km (195 mi; 170 nmi) north of the country's capital, Malé. One of the major environmental problems faced by Ihavandhoo islanders has been soil erosion. Demography Economy Traditionally, the island has been a pure fishing island, with the majority of the working age group being experienced fishermen. Ihavandhoo also accounts for the country's export of tuna (chilled and frozen) and dried fish. The government owned fisheries company, Maldives Industrial Fisheries Company also operates in the region. Education Opened on 14 May 1969, Ihavandhoo School serves as the public school in the island, providing primary to higher secondary education. Initially, the school was named "Ihavandhoo Madharusaa", when it was owned by the local people. The school started offering secondary grades in 1998, preparing students for international GCE Ordinary Level examinations, with A-Level grades in 2003. The school became a government owned school in 2000. Transport A harbour has been dug to solve the problem of getting into the island. An area of 13,150 m2 (141,500 sq ft) was dredged in 1992. The harbour was repaired in 2000. This harbour plays an important role in the economy of the island especially the fact that majority of the islands working population are fishermen who had to use the harbour every day. On 11 November 2010, the government started a project costing US$4,490,678.94 to build a new harbour. The project is yet to be finished. According to MTCC, the contractor of the project, as of 7 September 2011, 36% of breakwater construction has been completed. This new harbour has an area of 35,945 m2 (386,910 sq ft).

Kudafari

Kudafari (Dhivehi: ކުޑަފަރި) is one of the inhabited islands of Noonu Atoll. History The first inhabitants of Kudafari were Black African slaves that were brought to the Maldives by Sultan Hassan III (infamously known as Hadi Hassan Rasgefaanu). Slaves were mostly brought during that period for work such as shipbuilding and toddy tapping. They were housed in the Galolhu district of Malé at a place known as Baburun Koshi. They were freed in Malé and subsequently settled in Kudafari after the Sultan freed them and allowed them to settle in an island of their choosing. According to the late historian Lutfi writing in Faiythoora, the Africans in Kudafari were brought in the 14th century from the slave markets of Makkah. The origin of these slaves are speculated to be either modern day Tanzania or Djibouti, although an exact country remains unknown. The last slave transaction in Maldives happened during the 1830s as the Arab Slave Trade lasted longer than its Trans Atlantic counterpart. The islanders living today are descendants of these people, with most of them having distinct african features and usually being taller in stature than average Maldivians. Some even inter-married local women from nearby islands. Slaves settled peacefully in Maldives and usually married into the then lower caste of Maldivian society. N.Kudafari and AA.Feridhoo are two known communities of African descent in Maldives. Similar communities exist in neighbouring Sri Lanka and India. Geography The island is 188.87 km (117 mi; 102 nmi) north of the country's capital, Malé. Kudafari's land is flat. The highest point on the island is 15 metres (49 ft) above the sea level. 0.5 km (0.31 mi) from north to south and 0.7 km (0.43 mi) from east to west. The average temperature is 25 °C (77 °F). The hottest month is April, at 27 °C (81 °F), and the coldest is January, at 26 °C (79 °F). The average rainfall is 1,944 millimeters per year. The wettest month is August, with 322 mm (12.7 in) of rain, and the driest is February, with 40 mm (1.6 in). Ecology "The 'Integrated Multi-Tropical Aquaculture Project' was envisaged to initiate a community-led cause to revive coral reefs. Being from a small island such as Kudafari, we see the effects of climate change every day. But despite the odds, the project makes one believe in a future that we all can achieve." Demography Education Kudafaree has a school. Smart School Programme As part of the government's programme to improve the standard of education in the country, President Mohamed Nasheed launched the Smart School Programme. The Kudafari School was inaugurated as the first Smart School under the programme. Smart schools make use of information and communication technology and multimedia resources in the classrooms, in order to cater to the needs of all students of different academic levels.

Thulhaadhoo

Thulhaadhoo (Dhivehi: ތުޅާދޫ) is the second highest populated inhabited island of Baa Atoll. History The island has been reclaimed by the government recently. The island is famous for its lacquer work. It used to supply the noble families in the country with lacquered items, but now most of Thulhaadhoo's lacquer work is sold to tourists as souvenirs. Geography The island is 119.59 km (74 mi; 65 nmi) north of the country's capital, Malé. Demography Governance Thulhaadhoo Council The island is administered by a council of five members. The main objectives of this council are to make sure the well being of the island's citizens and to provide the basic needs of the people. The council is seen very active in the development of the island, although critics have risen against it. Umaira Aboobakr, who was the only Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) member in the council, which held the majority of Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) with its four members, was faced with major difficulties working with the council. The disputes within the council reached its peak, when the four MDP members took a vote in the middle of 2011 to sack Umaira claiming that "she had not attended seven council meetings in a row." A by-election was announced by the Elections Commission, but later that year, the Maldivian High Court cancelled the election and said that "the announcement on 5 October 2011 by Elections Commission for by-elections of B. Thulhaadhoo to be held on 19 November 2011, was made without fulfilling the requirements previously ordered by the High Court". Currently, Thulhaadhoo council has 7 councillors, including the council president, 3 Male councillors among which one is the vice president and 3 female councillors. The president and one of the female councillors were independent candidates whereas the other 5 councillors are from Maldivian Democratic Party. Education The island has one school headed by principal Ahmed Abdulla. In the year 2019 Ahmed Abdulla resigned from the post due to health issues. Ibrahim Rasheed is the current principal of Thulhaadhoo school. There are two pre schools in Thulhaadhoo, 2 of which is own by a private organisation. Healthcare Thulhaadhoo's Health Centre became famous when Dr. Muhammad Owais Aziz recorded the first case of swine flu in Maldives. References
