Silent Teddies Bakery was set up 11 years ago by Community Service Centre for the Deaf (CSCD) to provide training and employment for the hearing impaired.

After more than a decade, both premises in Lorong Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, are in need of refurbishment, so a RM37,000 grant from Sompo Welfare Foundation is timely.The foundation is the charitable arm of Sompo Japan Insurance Inc, which supports social welfare activities.
