CTE sends ‘access' to Africa

26 May 2009

Italian access equipment manufacturer CTE has donated two electric cars to a charity working in Ethiopia. The Kidane Mehret mission, located in the Tigray region of Adwa, has been active for years in child adoption and other humanitarian work.

The cars are for the use of seven nuns of the mission, which is supported by the Italian group "Amici di Adwa Onlus Association". Three of nuns are more than 65 years old, and the automobiles will help the nuns travel about the 55000 miles2 of their mission's area.

CTE said it hopes its little gesture, made through the association, will "ease a bit the work done by these inexhaustible nuns."
