Accordingly, Male’ City Council hopes that this becomes a platform of recovery for these businesses while effectively generating additional income at the same time as this is an opportunity to cater to a larger audience than they normally could to. A special attention will be given to small-scale businesses engaged by women at their homes for an income.
