Elisabeth M. Mofor

OUR FOUNDER

Elisabeth is a proud citizen of the beautiful country of Cameroon. Her diverse education, both within country and abroad, has equipped her with the necessary skills to build multiple successful businesses within Cameroon. Her compassion for the elderly, together with her lengthy experience in real estate, has enabled her to develop this heartwarming concept; bringing purpose and joy-of-life back to the ageing, all while facilitating inter-generational transfer of culture and education. Inspired by her late mother, and driven by her passion for empowering the elderly, Elisabeth is motivated to the success of LAFTA.

OUR MISSION

is to improve the quality of life for the ageing in Cameroon and beyond by increasing their access to specialized health services, leisure and economic opportunities based on the reality that someone is never too old to have a new dream , or too old to set a goal and achieve it.

OUR VISION

is of a society where the elderly are able to make invaluable contributions to our socio-economic development, as we are focused on bringing our centers closer to the Cameroonian people, the Central African sub-region and the African continent at large.

WHAT IS LAFTA?

LAFTA is a platform which brings senior citizens together within a multipurpose center, for the objective of interaction, networking, and socializing in order to improve quality of daily living

The elderly hold special positions and play important roles in many African Societies; they are regarded as the custodian of traditional knowledge including customs, norms, and spirituality. The younger generation, especially their children, are expected to provide adequate care and look after their general wellbeing at old age when they can no longer work to support themselves.

Project Progress

We’re building an ultra–modern complex in an environment specially adapted to needs of the elderly

SENIOR CITIZEN’S CENTER (scc)

The Senior Citizens Center (SCC) is designed primarily as a Residential Daycare and Leisure Center. The SCC has a maximum resident capacity of 100 and a daily visitor accommodation capacity of 200. We gladly welcome elderly people irrespective of creed, religion, and race

Guest Reception Center (GRC)

The Guest Reception Center (GRC) is the interface facility between the SCC and the outside world. It hosts all events related to the SCC not held within the premises of the SCC.

The GRC will introduce culture-based programs to keep its residents and visitors feeling at home.

Talking about us

Nfon Victor Mukete
Senator

“You have moved me to express to you my heartiest congratulations on your vision that has enabled you to see the miserable conditions in which the aged in our country and other African countries live, and to come up with your dream of how this problem could be solved. You have not stopped at presenting the solution but you have proceeded to actually show how it can be realized. Your strong faith in this matter is infectious, and I have deeply touched by the strength of the will with which you are tackling this great human issue of our time.
Let me assure you, Madam, that the project has my fullest support. It cannot, of course, be otherwise : I am a future beneficiary.

I am, therefore, looking forward to using my wide and varied experience to make my contribution to the development and success of this unique and well thought out project.”
