It's the name of an association (AFAC for Association des Fermes d'Accueil en Chambres étudiantes) so I'm not sure you have to translate that.
By the way, it means: association of farms that host student rooms.

For translating names of associations, rather than looking in a dictionary, it's best to start with the web site of the actual association. If they have an "official" or preferred translation, they will usually mention it.

For smaller associations there may not actually be a single, universally adopted translation, so sometimes it's a question of coming up with a sensible translation yourself and putting it in brackets after the first mention of the name, and then just using the original French name in the rest of your text (for example).
