Project Description

We are a young organization which was officially founded in early 2012 after more than 4 years of experience running volunteer programs on Lhivayani Atoll on behalf of other international volunteer organizations in the Maldives through our NGO.


We chose to launch our own volunteer programme since the various international partnerships that we were previously involved in all had extremely high administration costs, which meant that only a small fraction of the volunteer’s placement fees would actually reach our organisation and the island community - and in some cases the community found themselves needing to subsidise the volunteers stay as the funding that was received was simply not enough to cover basic accommodation and food costs.


So, we decided to make a change for the better - one of the most frequently asked questions by potential volunteers is "Where does my money go?" and we wanted to ensure that it really was reaching the community it was intended for - At Atoll Volunteers we keep our running costs to a minimum, with no international offices or international staff, we keep our advertising and administration costs as low as possible and have a transparency-policy which means that as our volunteer you will be able to monitor what your funds cover - any funds remaining from your program fee go directly into local community projects.


Not only are our fees lower and more transparent than most other Maldivian NGOs, but we were also the first NGO in the Maldives registered to bring in foreign volunteers. This means that you can be sure that we know what we’re doing and that our visa application process is smooth and quick.
