About Us
A Heart-Healthy Maldives Where Children Thrive, Families Are Empowered, and Communities Are Supported
Before Tiny Hearts, heart conditions in small children were diagnosed at the average age of seven years. Every year of delayed diagnosis is a year of preventable suffering for a child.— Jeehan Mahmood, Chairperson, Tiny Hearts of Maldives
Our Profile
Who we are
Tiny Hearts of Maldives was founded in 2009 by Ali Muaz and Hishmath Faiz after the heartbreaking loss of their son Keyaan to a congenital heart defect at just 2.5 months old.

We Believe
Our guiding values
01
Every child deserves equitable access to care
Geography and income should never determine a child's chance at life.
02
Prevention is as important as treatment
We invest in healthier lifestyles and risk awareness as much as surgeries.
03
Communities must be empowered, not blamed
We meet people where they are with compassion, not judgment.
04
Families and lived experiences shape solutions
The voices of CHD and CVD families guide everything we do.
05
Heart health is a shared national responsibility
We advocate for stronger policies and inclusive health systems.
