Lost Cultures — A Subsidiary of Zimlaa
Beyond construction, Zimlaa is proud to support cultural preservation through our subsidiary, Lost Cultures. This initiative is dedicated to restoring and raising awareness about the rich, yet often forgotten, cultural heritage of the Maldives. Through community projects, educational programs, and restoration efforts, Lost Cultures aims to reconnect people with their roots and ensure that the beauty of Maldivian traditions endures for generations to come.
