Avoid fraud: How to protect yourself
FAPEFE (Fondation des Femmes Actives pour la Promotion l’Education de la Femme et de L’Enfant) is deeply concerned about the fraudulent use of our name and logo by unethical individuals who deliberately abuse the trust of FAPEFE supporters worldwide. As a small nonprofit in Africa, we make every attempt to make ourselves and our practices transparent. If you have been contacted by FAPEFE, please read the following information to assure yourself of our legitimacy.
Following are details on how fraud is perpetrated – and how to help protect both FAPEFE and yourself from its potential serious consequences.
Fraudulent offers

We are alerting the general public in an effort to ensure that people do not become victims, and are lured into providing their personal contact details.
