What Our Partners Say
Coproriz Ntende Cooperative's poultry journey began uncertainly but flourished with ADC's guidance. Through consistent support and encouragement, a fragile idea transformed into a thriving enterprise. Today, both the cooperative and individual members proudly raise over 104,000 chickens, showcasing resilience, partnership, and the transformative power of strong counsel.
As a result of Covid 19, COPRORIZ-NTENDE Cooperative experienced a crisis like other commercial establishments, but in partnership with ADC, we were able to obtain a 20m grant aimed at boosting the Cooperative performance.
ADC's financial advisory and training were game-changers. We now run QuickBooks Online with clear, accurate data, boosting efficiency and compliance.
