Cherish Support Foundation is a registered non-profit, non-governmental organization wholly dedicated to selfless service to humanity. Established in 2005, it has outgrown the challenges of its nascent days, and is now a regionally and globally acknowledged organization engaged in carrying out programmes of community development aimed primarily at enhancing the well-being of the less privileged.
The Foundation, which formally flourished as Chiroma Shehu Ruma Foundation until 2009, was renamed "Cherish" after careful deliberation by its stakeholders. This name reflects its objectives and also honours the memory of the late Patriarch of the Ruma family. Cherish, therefore, is derived from the contraction of the name "Chiroma Shehu Ruma".
