The project
An island kept by the people who know it
Keyodhoo is changing. Old houses are becoming guesthouses, and trees we all remember are gone. This project keeps a clear record of the island, made by islanders.
Map
Fly the island regularly and publish clear, current imagery and maps that anyone can use.
Remember
Gather old photographs and stories from our elders, and place them where they happened.
Share
Show Maldives and the world what life on a small island is, in our own words.
The island
Here we are
High-resolution aerial imagery, flown by islanders, will be added here and kept flight after flight, so the island can be seen changing over the years.
