The Haven of Hope Children’s Home, a sanctuary for at-risk youth in the lush rural community of Woodland in South Trinidad, will soon complete a series of home upgrades, thanks to a recent donation from Marubeni Power International Inc.
“Every year, Marubeni makes donations to critical social initiatives in Trinidad and Tobago,” said Mo Majeed, Chief Operating Officer/Managing Director, Caribbean, Marubeni Power International, Inc. “This year, our donations are focused on ensuring that child welfare organisations have the resources they need to thrive, particularly within South Trinidad communities.”
The Marubeni donation of US$7,000 will support the Haven of Hope’s plans for general maintenance and upkeep, such as fencing the property and the purchase of some new kitchen appliances, allowing the Home to focus on other priority needs for its children.
“We are very grateful for this donation which will certainly help make a difference in the daily lives of the children living here,” said Pamela Bhagwandass, who, together with her husband Steven, co-founded the home for abused and neglected children 14 years ago. “We put our energy into making this home a true haven for our children, and we do as much as we can to encourage healthy extracurriculars and the holistic development of the children in our care.”
Marubeni has been a sharedholder of PowerGen in Trinidad and Tobago for 18 years and has long been committed to supporting initiatives that strengthen communities across Trinidad & Tobago. Headquartered in Japan, the Marubeni Corporation has offices in 67 countries and employs 45,000 people around the world.
