Ivory Coast Mothers and Children

ADER is the acronym for a group in Braffoueby, Cote D'Ivoire whose name translates roughly as the Association for Rural Development. They are a spirited group of action-oriented village leaders who look for every opportunity to improve the quality of life in their community. A lack of funding for their projects is the only thing that slowing them down.

Under their direction, the village women go to literacy classes and utilize that time together to discuss issues related to education and health. Among other achievements is their "Rice Project" which has been very successful in providing nourishment to village children and families. ADER also monitors the maintenance of latrines recently built with the help of the Peace Corps.

The Ivory Coast Mothers and Children will coordinate its goals with ADER, working closely in partnership to ensure success.
