Aumazo, Inc., a not-for-profit organization founded by Silver Spring resident and Cameroonian native, Jacqueline Audigé, is organizing, planning and soliciting funding for the construction of a charitable, « green » high school for girls in Bankondji, Cameroon. Aumazo is proud to have put in the school’s foundation and is building hope for a « green » and promising future for young women in this rural community.

« All the girls in the village are very excited about the new prospects, » Audigé said. This school will be more than an educational facility. « It is a lifetime opportunity for rural girls to depart from social isolation, educational neglect and economic marginalization. »

The boarding school is intended to provide a worry-free environment for young women from Bankondji and other Cameroonian villages. Students will often be reminded that their contributions are valued and that their actions count to the nation as a whole.
