Message From The Country Director

I am solely indebted to all the hardworking foot soldiers of ADEC. It’s your enduring selfless sacrifice to serve the needy on daily basis that transpired to this beautiful and results-based report. Clearly, our quest for a poverty free society is better told in the stories of these localized projects. The dignity with which our beneficiaries are served is enshrined in our vision and mission statement – I urge every one of us to continue be self-reminded during projects’ implementation period.
