Omoro Alliance for Empowerment Foundation (ALEFA) is a non-profit community-based organisation established in 2021 by four intersex activists — Patricia Ajok, Gladys Ataro, Charity Akello and Constantine Lakony in 2021. ALEFA operates in Northern Uganda, specifically in the districts of Amuru, Gulu, Kitgum and Omoro. ALEFA was registered on 23 January 2024.
Since its inception in 2021, ALEFA has achieved notable milestones. The organisation has successfully mobilised 60 intersex persons across the three districts through awareness creation efforts. Additionally, ALEFA organised eight community outreaches, with three in Kitgum, two in Amuru, and three in Gulu. They have also trained 15 intersex youths in advocacy and movement building. Furthermore, ALEFA provided training to 38 individuals in good agronomic practices, enhancing production, productivity, and tree planting. As part of its commitment to environmental sustainability, ALEFA distributed 1,000 seedlings among 30 intersex households. Moreover, the organisation has referred five cases of intersex injustice to HRAPF (Human Rights Awareness and Promotion Forum) for redress.
