Helping to strengthen our social ties, the Chukka Foundation has endeavored to be socially responsible and to extend help to our staff and community as best possible. Covid 19 has had a huge impact on the tourism sector, where staff have unavoidably been laid off, and we are aware of the great need for support at this time.
Families in our communities are cooped up at home, and with the support of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, local partners and Hanover Charities, we have reached out with the distribution of food packages to those most in need. Our scholarship program continues to help our sponsored students with their education for the prospective term. The health and wellness of our staff and clients is also paramount. Extensive training has been conducted in the protocols of hygiene, creating a positive impact on self efficacy and providing hope, resilience and optimism for our team members towards reopening our tours and welcoming back our visitors.
