The Association for the Development of the Rural Communities in Congo is a charitable organization that helps deprived rural areas develop self-sustaining communities and improve the personal well-being of children, women, and men.
The primary goals of ADERC are:
- Relieve poverty by providing basic amenities such as access to water and food to the poor, and by assisting people in improving hygienic and sanitary conditions.
- Advance education by providing furniture, school supplies, and other necessary materials to financially disadvantaged schools, and by helping the poor to raise their level of literacy.
