It was donated on 2 December, 2025 and was presented at Malé by Ibrahim Siyad Qasim, Managing Director of Villa Group. He made the contribution to the High Commissioner of Sri Lanka to the Maldives, H.E. M. Rizvi Hassen. Hon. Qasim Ibrahim, Chairman of Villa Group was thanked by the High Commission of Sri Lanka who realized that the assistance was a significant contribution to continued national and local recovery measures.

The role of Villa Group will aid the overall humanitarian efforts and support the most vulnerable group in the disaster.
