Voluntary Service (ދަރުމައަށް މަސައްކަތްކުރުން)

"It is a voluntary relief movement not prompted in any manner by desire for gain."

The principle of voluntary service represents the common motivation uniting all those working within the Movement: a desire to help others. It is both a source of inspiration and a statement of solidarity.

Whether members volunteer without pay or with some form of acknowledgement or even modest remuneration, it is not inspired by desire for financial gain but by individual commitment and devotion to the humanitarian purpose. This is freely chosen and accepted as part of the service the Movement provides to the community.
