The donation was officially made during an event held at MIRA’s headquarters in capital city Malé. An official from the authority said that the donation is part of its corporation social responsibility policy.

Commissioner General of Taxation, Yazeed Mohamed, that MIRA’s ‘generous’ staff made the donation a possibility and that such events have been held for some time now.
