If you know what you're doing you can probably flash it with GrapheneOS, though that would require buying a computer, in that country, too.  At some point you're probably in the "gonna be taking some serious risks no matter what" territory, unless you're working for MI6 or something.

Alice likes to keep the costs low and would only purchase a laptop 
there, to prepare

data, prior taking it to the Internet Café's (compromised) computer. 
Phones, whether

dumb or smart, she likes to avoid. But thanks for the proposal, much 
appreciated.
