Since Kurumba’s opening in 1972, we have been giving back to the local community. Kurumba established the first catering school in the Maldives in 1980, for training Universal employees. With expert instructors straight from Italy, we added value to the Maldives economy. Locals received the opportunities of a lifetime. Several employees were even sent to train in Sri Lanka, England and Singapore. A living, breathing part of the Maldives, we take pride in our local contributions. Kurumba has bold plans for further developing its corporate and social responsibility programme in the future.
