These Family & Children Service Centers are run by the Gender Ministry across Maldives. Dhiraagu, the local telecom giant, has extended their support to 'Amaan Veshi' and 'Amaan Hiya,' as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Initiative.
 
On May 16, 2022, a special meeting was held at the Gender Ministry to officially launch the initiative. Under this CSR program, Dhiraagu high-speed Fibre Broadband and DhiraaguTV services will be provided to the following Amaan Veshi, which are currently established under the Gender Ministry:
