We earn trust not with words, but with actions that consistently honor the communities we serve and the people who support us.
Ayzoh! may be a legally registered non-profit organization, fully compliant with Italian and European regulations, but we see ourselves as a movement.
I have always been drawn to people and initiatives that challenge traditional norms, overturn expectations, and drive positive change by reimagining the status quo. This fascination led me to accept an invitation from the Awra Amba community for Ayzoh! to create a photographic book and website that illuminate their extraordinary story.
From the initial spark of an idea to the final publication, we control every step of the editorial process. But, that is not an end. It is a beginning: a means to build relationships, amplify voices, and create movements.
A reimagining beyond “newspeak”: in a world where language is often diluted and manipulated, we choose to reclaim the meaning of key words that guide our work at Ayzoh!.
The Ayzoh! team is made up of twelve professionals and a network of collaborators that spans across all continents...
"Camp Erech – The Book in the Treasure Chest" is a collection of one hundred photographic prints, named after the camp near the Toungad oasis in the Adrar desert region of Mauritania. Through the eyes of our photographers — Giulia Zhang and Claudio Maria Lerario — you will be drawn into the daily life of Yahya (the story’s central figure), his family, and their small local community. This collection is part of a series of editorial and social initiatives managed by Ayzoh! to support Camp Erech and its community.
After dozens of projects across the world, it’s easy to get caught up in the momentum, but we don’t want to forget our roots...
At Ayzoh!, photography is more than a medium: it’s a bridge that connects, reveals, and elevates. While many use images to compete for prizes or acclaim, we reject the idea that human conditions should be ranked or judged.
Imagine the vibrant streets of Ouagadougou, the bustling capital of Burkina Faso. Picture these streets as a canvas for young talent, where boys and girls channel their creativity through art and photography.
Tissia is a project supported by Ayzoh! that was founded in 2007 by Alice Ouedraogo and Veronique Ouedraogo in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Initially, the organization focused on providing microcredit, literacy programs, and social activities to support women from the most disadvantaged segments of the population. In 2019, Tissia expanded its mission with the opening of a textile workshop in the city.
