Campaign commenced in Magoodhoo encouraging cloth nappies

In an effort to reduce the amount of plastic used in Magoodhoo island in Noonu atoll, the island's Council, Women's Development Committee (WDC), and Health Centre have joined efforts with Soneva in conducting a campaign encouraging the use of cloth diapers instead of plastic ones.

The campaign, dubbed 'Budu Fothi', was announced in a joint press release issued yesterday, and detailed that this campaign aims to reduce waste as well as the import of single use plastic into the island, while also fostering a tradition of using cloth diapers.
