Our Commitment to Impact and Integrity
At the Afoni Children of Hope Foundation (ACOHOF), we believe that poverty and conflict should never have the final say in a human life. Guided by our foundational creed, “Hope for the Underprivileged,” we do not offer passive charity; we build paths to permanent self-reliance. We are a grassroots, frontline non-profit driving systemic, community-led development across the rural and semi-urban landscapes of Cameroon.
Our Mission
To restore dignity, unlock human potential, and break the cycles of generational poverty for orphaned children, internally displaced families, and marginalized communities. From our roots in the North West Region to our expanded operations in Adamaoua, we meet immediate humanitarian crises with sustainable, long-term developmental solutions—ensuring that those left furthest behind are empowered to lead lives of self-respect and economic independence.
ACOHOF is a legally registered non-profit organization in Cameroon (Reg No: E26/PS/118/11).
The ACOHOF - EWB Sweden Partnership
The cooperation between the Afoni Children of Hope Foundation (ACOHOF) and Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Sweden has been remarkable. Together, we have undertaken several inspiring projects, including the Water Disinfection Systems (WADIS 2 and 3), Solar Water Disinfection (SODIS), Renewable Energy Initiatives, and Computers for Schools.
These projects have not only been successful but have also made a significant impact. Mr. Stefan Karnebäck's contributions to these initiatives have been truly outstanding. This partnership is of utmost importance and has created a positive influence.
We are committed to fostering resilient and self-sufficient communities, and our inclusive programs reflect this commitment. We focus on educating underprivileged children and providing vocational training to develop essential skills.
Our vocational training centers—the ACOHOF Family Farm School of Tatum, the ACOHOF Family Farm School of Bankim, and the ACOHOF Bilingual Technical Vocational College of Agriculture and Entrepreneurship—provide professional training in rural entrepreneurship, modern agricultural and livestock techniques, home economics, arts and crafts, and ICT.
These programs are designed to be truly inclusive, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background, can benefit from them, including IDPs who are far from their regions of origin and rely on humanitarian aid. We also recognize the importance of education in breaking the cycle of poverty. That's why we organize the "Back to School with ACOHOF" program each year. This initiative distributes grade-appropriate educational materials to orphans and disadvantaged children, including IDPs, and has a significant impact on their academic journey.
Our programs extend beyond vocational training. Our holistic approach encompasses a wide range of initiatives, from the Muscular Dystrophy and Rare Diseases program to the promotion of creative artistic forms, including musical talent.
