Biography

Ali Hussain was born in Hithadhoo, Addu City, Maldives, on 14 June 1913. In his youth, he worked very tirelessly, helping to foster his kids and expand his family over time. He helped to build a total of three homes for his children.

Hussain also worked for the British in Addu City. For work, he would walk a course of six kilometers from his home in Hithadhoo all the way to Abuheraa. He would come home for lunch, and would go back again; all the traveling he did was done on foot. When his work with the British came to an end, he collected toddies, building up his earnings upon selling them.
