In the 1968, people from the nearby Maaddoo island, Funadhoo and Undoodhoo were immigrated to Eydhafushi under the supervision of the Maldivian government as they sought a better standard of living.

The island is sometimes referred by people as "hell" due to the extremely high temperatures, especially during mid-day.

Recently, the tall trees on the streets were also cut down to lay tar on the main roads.

There were no sufficient greening programs held to make up for the cutting down of trees, hence resulting in dusty streets and growing temperatures.

Even after the reclamation project, there were no greening programs conducted to overcome the issue of the rising temperatures.

These young people also have the chance to apply to multiple apprenticeship programs offered by some of most well known resorts in the country, such as the Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru and Soneva Fushi.
