BUILDING OUT OUR NETWORK
Care Helpers Organisation of Trinidad and Tobago was established because of the notable absence of CP advocacy groups in North-East Trinidad. We believe that active engagement with our various stakeholder groups is vital to what we do, and accordingly, as a modern organization in this digital information age, we fully intend to use modern technology, as well as traditional media to help us achieve our mandate. We also have relationships with various suppliers of medical equipment, pharmaceutical retailers, as well as a pool of prospective sponsors and donors who have already indicated their willingness to partner with us.
