“From the initial creation of our signage to concluding another successful year, Trukai has been the backbone of Cheshire and our people, “said Hahambu.

Trukai Industries Marketing Manager Maryanne Tom, said the company was pleased to support organizations like the Cheshire and emphasized on Trukai’s continued support in areas of nutrition and its annual donations towards the charity.

“Our first Christmas luncheon was hosted in 2021 and it was a great success especially with the residents so we pledged to make it an annual event. We hope we can make it bigger every year and have more supporters come share the Christmas cheer and spirit with us,” said Tom.

“Trukai has been a supporter of Cheshire for 18 years and this is because of the work that they do – they care for the less fortunate especially people living with special needs and we will continue to support them for many more years to come,” Tom added.

Through Cheshire’s community-based rehabilitation programs, the organization reaches more than 1,000 people living with a disability, changing the lives of families and communities. The program ensures that people living with special needs get the proper medical rehabilitation through trained physiotherapists and nurses at Cheshire’s clinic.
