What We Stand For
We are driven by a commitment to restoring dignity, expanding opportunity, and creating lasting change in the lives of those who need it most.
We Protect:
We safeguard the futures of orphaned and vulnerable children by providing holistic, quality education—nurturing not only their academic growth, but also their confidence, well-being, and sense of purpose.
We Rebuild:
We offer more than relief—we create pathways to stability. For internally displaced families in the Adamaoua and North West Regions, we provide a safe haven, life skills training, and access to microfinance, empowering them to rebuild their lives with resilience and dignity.
We Sustain:
We invest in long-term solutions that strengthen communities. Through clean water systems and practical vocational training, we equip individuals with the tools they need to achieve independence and thrive.
Our Mission:
Our objective is both simple and profound:
to bridge the gap between crisis and self-sufficiency.
We believe that with the right support, opportunity, and empowerment, those facing hardship can rise above their circumstances and become the authors of their own future.
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).
Transforming Communities Together
The ACOHOF & EWB Sweden Partnership
ACOHOF - EWB Sweden Partnership
The partnership between Afoni Children of Hope Foundation (ACOHOF) and Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Sweden exemplifies how sustainable engineering can positively impact lives.
Since 2015, this collaboration has been dedicated to implementing innovative solutions that support underprivileged children and the wider community in Tatum, Cameroon.
Highlights of Key Projects:
Solar Energy Installation:
EWB Sweden’s Solar Cells project team installed solar energy systems at the ACOHOF Family Farm School (FFS+). This reliable electricity supply has greatly enhanced the quality of education, extended study hours into the evening, and improved school security after dark.
Computers for Schools:
In 2017, EWB Sweden designed and set up a modern computer lab at the ACOHOF FFS+. This facility encourages students’ curiosity and problem-solving abilities, offers access to information beyond traditional textbooks, and enables teachers to enrich their lessons through online research.
Water Disinfection Systems (WADIS & SODIS):
To combat waterborne illnesses, EWB Sweden supported the implementation of the Solar Water Disinfection (SODIS) method and helped establish the Development and Information Systems (DevICe) center.
By using simple, effective solar technology to eliminate bacteria from drinking water, these initiatives have significantly reduced water-related diseases among children and community members.
A Partnership Rooted in Solidarity:
This collaboration extends beyond technical projects, reflecting a shared dedication to building resilient communities.
Student Engagement:
EWB Sweden students have regularly visited Tatum to conduct baseline surveys and implement these technical solutions, fostering a meaningful connection between Swedish expertise and the needs of the Cameroonian community.
Resilience and Adaptability:
Although socio-political challenges in Cameroon’s North West and South West regions have occasionally impacted feasibility studies for new initiatives—such as the Water, Hygiene, and Sanitation Project and the Rocket Stove project—the partnership remains a vital part of ACOHOF’s mission to empower disadvantaged populations.
