Association des Universitaires Motivés pour une Haiti de Droits
AUMOHD or the Association of University Students Committed to a Haiti with Rights is a non-profit organization engaged in humanitarian aid and development activities in Haiti. AUMOHD works amid disasters, conflicts, chronic poverty and instability. Since 2004, AUMOHD has provided assistance to the people of Haiti.
The bylaws of AUMOHD state that it will:
- promote unity, peace, and solidarity for a Haiti that is in all its parts democratically, judicially, and socially an equal society.
- give legal assistance to people arrested or thrown in prison arbitrarily and illegally.
- help or care for children without means, sick, mistreated, or abandoned in the streets.
- offer a feeding program to children and the vulnerable elderly.
- organize meetings and educational seminars with the purpose of training Haitian families to better understand their rights and their responsibilities.
- organize educational campaigns for civic education, open spaces, colloquia and seminars for making people more aware of human rights.
- work in concert with national as well as international organizations working in the same field.
Community Human Rights Councils
AUMOHD organizes and convenes human rights councils, helping individuals and families with legal assistance. The councils support the community through information sharing. Four existing Community Human Rights Councils have been convened which are supported by AUMOHD through legal advice, legal services, communication, transportation, and social service referrals.
