Stories from ALIFO’s programmes and the communities they serve.
ALIFO ran a legal literacy workshop series for traders at Akwa market, covering business registration, contracts and consumer rights. Over sixty participants — including Etienne Mbarga, a spare-parts dealer of twenty years — completed the programme and registered their businesses with the CFCE.
Through its mentorship track, ALIFO paired young law graduates with practising lawyers for a six-month programme. Comfort Ngo Bakang, a graduate of the University of Buea, describes the mentorship as the bridge between legal theory and the realities of practice in Douala.
Working with community facilitators in the Littoral region, ALIFO supported neighbourhood mediation sessions that helped families and small landlords resolve disputes without litigation. Jean-Paul Fotso, a community facilitator, now leads a volunteer network trained under the programme.
ALIFO welcomes partnerships with organisations, institutions and individuals who share our commitment.
