Welcome to the New Ayzoh.org

A window wide open. A pair of hands, a glance, a story.

The new ayzoh.org is live — not just a website, but a declaration of intent. It’s a space built from the ground up by our Media Lab. Not outsourced, not templated. Designed, photographed, written, and coded by the same people who walk barefoot through the dust, who sit for hours listening to stories, who believe in the slow, rebellious act of documenting truth with dignity. Here, you’ll find no filters, no corporate sheen. Only stories that move, disturb, heal, and ignite. What’s Inside?


Publications

Welcome to the Ayzoh! Library — a place where photography and narrative breathe together. Flip through digital books in full screen, zoom in, explore. They’re not for passive scrolling. They’re meant to be lived.


Media Lab

This is our creative engine. Where field research, photography, and graphic design collide with lived experience. We don’t extract stories. We co-create them. Each project is born from long-term collaboration with people whose voices are rarely heard — but urgently needed.


Education Programs

We believe in youth. From the streets of Addis Ababa to the schools we helped build in Guatemala, we partner with young people who are often invisible to the world. Together, we make books, tell stories, and break silences.


Travel and Learn With Ayzoh!

We don’t “do” tourism. We do immersion. Learning. Co-creation. Travel with Ayzoh! is about walking side by side with photographers, fieldworkers, and storytellers — people who know what it means to live the story, not just frame it. You won’t come back the same.


Strategic Partnerships

We don’t fit in boxes. And we don’t look for partners who do. If you’re a business, organization, or institution ready to work differently — ethically, creatively, boldly — we’re here. Let’s build something uncommon.


About Us

We are not a brand. We are not a campaign. We are a community of creators working with and for the margins. What we do isn’t easy. But it’s essential. Because stories, when told right, can build schools. Protect memory. Restore dignity.


Why It Matters

The new Ayzoh! site is not a collection of pages. It’s a living, breathing platform for free-thinking, radical beauty, and courageous voices. It’s where a kid in Guatemala meets a teacher in Ethiopia. Where a photographer in Sicily collaborates with a weaver in Burkina Faso. Where those who’ve been silenced find an audience. And those who’ve been asleep, finally wake up.


Join Us

You don’t need to be a photographer. Or an activist. Or a writer. You just need to care. To stand for something. To want better. Membership is how we keep going — and how you become part of something that won’t be bought, won’t be boxed in, and won’t stay quiet.
