Bringing the bounty of the Maldivian seas to your doorstep, with love from our local home-based producers, eDhumashi is a pioneering initiative of the International Pole and Line Foundation (IPNLF Maldives).
At eDhumashi, we believe in the power of digital trade to transform lives and uplift communities. That's why we offer a full-featured Dhivehi version of our platform, eliminating language barriers for Maldivian coastal communities. We want to ensure that everyone, regardless of their linguistic background, can access our marketplace and enjoy the finest fish products that our local producers have to offer.
The development of eDhumashi was made possible by the support of the Ocean Innovation Challenge, a program by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). This program focuses on fostering innovative solutions for ocean conservation and sustainability. We are proud to be a part of this initiative, as eDhumashi serves a greater purpose beyond facilitating digital trade. By supporting local communities, we contribute to the sustainability of our precious marine resources and promote a healthier, more prosperous future for all.
The local name "Dhumashi'' resonates deeply with Maldivian identity, representing the most cherished tool in our rich fishing heritage—the fish rack. At eDhumashi, we are committed to bringing "Dhumashi'' to the digital realm, paying homage to an important local tradition, and ensuring its significance for generations to come.
