Running to Build Bridges

Through the Toghu Marathoner’s international races, the Amom Foundation is raising funds to reconstruct 10 unsafe and broken-down wooden bridges in rural communities of Bui Division, North West Cameroon. These bridges are vital lifelines—connecting children to schools, farmers to markets, and families to healthcare.

When destroyed, especially during the rainy season, they isolate entire villages, cutting off access to education and opportunity.

Our Goal: $25,000

• Rebuild 10 rural footbridges using reinforced, weather-resistant materials

• Restore safe access to education for over 2,000 schoolchildren

• Reconnect farming communities to essential trade routes

• Strengthen community development through shared infrastructure

Why It Matters

• Children miss school due to rivers that flood during rainy season

• Pregnant women and the elderly risk their lives crossing collapsed bridges

• Food supplies can’t reach markets on time, affecting local economies

• Rebuilt bridges = access, safety, education, and progress

How We’re Doing It

The Toghu Marathoner, Afowiri Kizito Fondzenyuy, is running major global marathons—including the Tokyo Marathon and upcoming races—wearing traditional Toghu attire to:

• Raise awareness of rural infrastructure challenges in Cameroon

• Mobilize the global community through virtual and in-person support

• Use each race as a fundraising milestone toward bridge completion

To date, over $5,000 has already been raised. Your donation can help us finish the mission.

How You Can Help
