Our Story
It Started in Ngondzen…
The Amom Foundation was born from the lived experiences of our founder, Afowiri “Kitz” Fondzenyuy, who grew up in the remote village of Ngondzen, Cameroon—where access to education, healthcare, and opportunity was almost nonexistent. Kitz witnessed firsthand how the lack of basic school supplies, trained teachers, and inclusive environments kept thousands of children locked out of their dreams. Determined to change this, he turned compassion into action—and in 2006, Amom Charity (now Amom Foundation) was founded.

What We Do
-
When Running Meets Purpose
In 2011, our founder took to the streets of Houston for a 5K run to raise funds for schoolchildren in Cameroon. That moment sparked the birth of the Toghu Marathoner movement—an initiative blending endurance sport, cultural pride, and activism. From skydiving fundraisers to the upcoming Yaoundé Culture Marathon, every mile run has helped fund classrooms, bridges, and inclusive learning centers in underserved regions.

One Vision, Many Faces
Today, the Amom Foundation is more than an organization. It’s a family of volunteers, educators, medical professionals, creatives, and dreamers united by a single goal: “To create a world where no child is left behind due to poverty, disability, or geography.” With your help, we are building Cameroon’s first Autism Center, organizing citizen-led assessments (CLA), and running for rural access to education—one campaign at a time.
