Working together
Partnerships & Collaboration
Kethi Araa works with people and organisations when a shared purpose can strengthen community life in Hanimaadhoo. A conversation is welcome. A conversation is not yet a partnership.
The organisation brings local relationships, practical coordination, and a clear duty to the people it serves.
Local understanding. Practical coordination. Shared responsibility.
Useful collaboration starts with a purpose the community can recognise, and with people who can carry their part of the work.
Community connection
Kethi Araa is based in HDh. Hanimaadhoo and works through relationships that already exist on the island.
Practical delivery
The organisation can help shape activities, gatherings, and youth, sport, family, and community-space work when the purpose is clear.
Responsible partnership
Names, logos, and public claims are used only after the people involved have agreed the wording.

Principles
How we choose to work
01
Community value first
The activity should matter to people in Hanimaadhoo.
02
Clear roles
Each side should know what it is being asked to do.
03
Honest public words
Names and logos appear in public only with permission.
04
Care for people
Children, families, and personal stories are handled with consent.
05
Room to decline
A proposal can be paused or declined without becoming a public dispute.
How collaboration works
There is no promised reply time. The organisation answers when it can look at the proposal properly.
1
Start a conversation
Share the purpose, who it is for, and what you are asking.
2
Look at the fit
Kethi Araa checks the purpose, the capacity, and the care the activity needs.
3
Agree the shape
If it fits, both sides agree roles, timing, and what may be said in public.
4
Prepare
Permissions, people, and practical details are settled before the activity is announced.
5
Carry it out
The agreed work happens, with each side responsible for its part.
6
Close and record
What happened is recorded in a way the organisation can stand behind.
Have an idea?
Bring a clear purpose, not a finished presentation.
Tell us who the activity is for and what you need from Kethi Araa. Sending this form does not create a partnership.
Ask a question firstQuestions before you write
No. It starts a conversation. A partnership exists only after both sides have agreed.
