previous target of 100,000 trees was surpassed in November

2 Inchcape supports school project in Ethiopia
Inchcape supports the Mother and Child Rehabilitation Centre
(MCRC) in Ethiopia.Taking in extremely disadvantaged
children from Addis Ababa and beyond, the centre provides
shelter, food, education, medical care and therapy for children
and their parents. MCRC aims to help them recover from past
traumas and equip them through employment and
professional training with the means to be independent and
successful in the future. Over 2009, our staff donated money,
clothes and toys to this fantastic cause, while Inchcape plc
sponsored a fundraising video about the school.These ongoing
contributions help ensure the programme continues to provide
support and hope to these children and their mothers.
