Corporate Social Responsibility

MRW Solidario

MRW has been sending solidarity shipments since it first began as a franchise. The company does this without any outside financial support because it feels it is important to give back. These shipments are allocated to people who may need special treatment, specifically those with disabilities, or the elderly, unemployed, students, large families etc.

The company also gets involved with solidarity campaigns to bring people together and do as much good as it can. By using their national offices as donation centres they can ensure people who need it are receiving support.

MRW Foundation

The foundation brought out a book or manual called ‘What’s wrong with our brother?’ It was a brilliant innovative way of explaining to children who have siblings with disabilities what is happening and how their brother or sister is feeling.
