Project Schoolhouse is an international non profit that focuses on education, clean water, and sanitation in rural Nicaraguan communities.

Aumazo's mission is to empower girls in Cameroon by making high school education and vocational training a viable option for girls in rural areas. Related goals include helping graduates obtain gainful employment or higher education,and addressing water and sanitation issues in their communities. In many Africa countries, school fees, early marriage, unwanted pregnancy, socio-cultural prejudice and mandatory chores are all barriers to the educational development of young women. At Aumazo, we recognize that it is often women and girls who drive transformational economies in the developing world. If provided with educational opportunities to attend high school girls will enjoy more successful lives as young adults.
