No child should have to wait to be understood. We’re helping families and communities in Cameroon open more doors to learning, support and possibility.
In too many communities, a child who learns, speaks or experiences the world differently is met with questions nobody knows how to answer. Families are left searching for information, trained professionals and a place to turn.
AMOM Foundation is working to change that. We believe understanding should come before judgment, and every family deserves a fair chance to find the support they need.
We want to bring expertise closer to families rather than leave parents to navigate uncertainty alone.
01 — Early identification and referral pathways
02 — Inclusive learning and developmental support
03 — Caregiver guidance and community education
04 — Educator training and inclusion advocacy
These priorities describe intended services, not services currently available.
Our ambition is to establish the AMOM Inclusive Center in Cameroon — a welcoming place where families can find guidance, educators can build skills and children can have more opportunities to thrive.
Our developing flagship initiative for inclusive learning and family support.
From rebuilding school spaces and supplying textbooks to completing two bridges and training farmers, AMOM’s past work reflects practical responses to community needs. The Inclusive Center is the next chapter of that experience.

Read the project story →— Afowiri Kizito Fondzenyuy, Founder, AMOM Foundation
As a young child in Cameroon, Afowiri’s father could not afford to sit in class. He listened through a window and practiced his letters in the dirt. One day, a teacher noticed him and invited him inside.
That small act changed the course of his life. Years later, when Afowiri’s own daughter was identified as autistic, the lesson returned with new urgency: how many children are still waiting for someone to open the door?
Across international marathon courses, Afowiri has worn Cameroon’s Toghu with pride — turning finish lines into opportunities to talk about children too often overlooked.
Our work started long before this new chapter. Education, local partnerships and community-led projects remain part of the foundation we’re building on.
Education, local partnerships and community projects shaped AMOM long before its renewed focus on autism inclusion. Our impact should be counted carefully and explained in the context of the people reached.
