ABOUT US
LÉK'OBA Foundation
Honoring Legacy Through Empowerment and Humanitarian Support Across Africa
Fondation LÉK’OBA was established in November 2025 to honor the legacies of two remarkable women, Aline Rachel Lekogo Lawson and Koba Alertine.
These two extraordinary individuals were well-known for their immense kindness, unwavering compassion, and deep dedication to helping others in their communities. Their memories serve as a powerful source of inspiration for the foundation, which is committed to continuing their spirit of humanitarianism across Africa.
The foundation aims to make a significant and measurable impact in several critical areas, including health, women’s empowerment, and education, with a particular focus on assisting underserved communities that often lack access to essential resources and opportunities.
Vision, Mission & Core Values
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a continent where every individual has access to quality healthcare, education, and opportunities, regardless of gender or socioeconomic background. We see an Africa where communities are resilient, individuals are empowered, and every child has the resources to thrive.
Through strategic partnerships with local organizations, governments, and international allies, Fondation LÉK’OBA will be a driving force for sustainable, inclusive development across African nations. By enhancing access to healthcare, supporting education, and fostering economic opportunities, we aim to address the unique challenges faced by African communities and to empower them to create a brighter, more equitable future.
In our vision, Africa will be a continent where barriers to health, education, and opportunity are broken down, enabling each person to contribute meaningfully to their community. We are dedicated to building this future, where the continent’s potential is fully realized and every individual’s right to health, knowledge, and opportunity is honored.
Building a Healthier, Educated, and Empowered Africa
Our Mission
Our mission is to support and uplift African communities by addressing their most pressing needs through impactful programs in health, women’s empowerment, and education. By providing access to essential resources and fostering self-reliance, we work to build sustainable pathways for progress across the continent.
Fondation LÉK’OBA collaborates with local and international partners to create transformative opportunities. We develop and implement community-centered health initiatives, empower women through skills and financial support, and improve educational resources for children and young adults. Our work aims to equip individuals and communities with the tools needed to overcome systemic challenges and build a brighter future.
Through strong partnerships with government, local organizations, and global allies, we are dedicated to delivering solutions that create measurable impact. We envision a resilient Africa where every individual has the opportunity to thrive, and by working together, we can make this vision a reality.
Empowering African Communities Through Health, Education, and Gender Equality
Our Purpose
Poverty, limited healthcare, and barriers to education continue to hinder the potential of countless communities across Africa. Our purpose is to create lasting, positive change by addressing these challenges directly, providing resources and opportunities that empower individuals and build resilient communities.
To fulfill our purpose, we work in close collaboration with local partners and community leaders to design and implement impactful programs. Our initiatives in health focus on accessible medical care and preventive education; in women’s empowerment, we prioritize skill-building, financial support, and leadership development; and in education, we aim to provide resources and infrastructure to help every child reach their full potential.
By centering our approach on partnership, transparency, and sustainable development, we strive to empower communities to take control of their future, creating a ripple effect that fosters progress across generations. Through these collective efforts, Fondation LÉK’OBA is dedicated to building a healthier, more educated, and equitable Africa for all.
Empowering African Communities Through Health, Education, and Gender Equality
Our Values
In 2025, the Fondation LÉK’OBA core values has been defined through a collaborative process involving a series of workshops and discussions.
These values are the foundation of our work, guiding our approach both within the organization and in all interactions with partners, beneficiaries, and communities across Africa.
By engaging team members through questionnaires and open workshops, we collectively identified values that authentically reflect our commitment to compassion, empowerment, and transparency. These values are the cornerstone of our organizational culture and set the standard for how we work to create sustainable impact.
Empowering African Communities Through Health, Education, and Gender Equality

We are driven by compassion in every aspect of our work. This value is reflected in our approach to understanding the unique needs of each community we serve. By leading with empathy and respect, we strive to make a positive difference in people’s lives and to honor the legacies of Aline Rachel Lekogo Lawson and Koba Albertine, who inspire us to bring hope and care to those who need it most.
