Caring With Kindness

Improving quality of life for the ageing in Cameroon and Beyond

What is LAFTA?

Living Alternatives For The Ageing

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.

Given today’s demands, we’ve shifted to a society that pulls away from our parents and grandparents in order to push toward independence. LAFTA bridges the gap between our cherished traditions and current lifestyle, providing a loving environment for your loved one to thrive and live with dignity.

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.

our Motivation

With the wind of evolution blowing so rapidly across the world, there is an urgent need for people in Cameroon, in the sub region, and the African continent at large to reorganize family settings in order to focus more on production without the guilt of abandoning parents. By so doing, Cameroon and the continent will become more and more industrialized in an increasingly competitive world.

"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 sincerely believe that it is a laudable initiative which can go a long way to impact positively on the social lives of the ageing population in Cameroon and beyond.
