Appeal: Our Land — Our Future

Donate between midday on Tuesday 22nd April and midday on Tuesday 29th April

At Amos Trust, we believe that the people closest to the climate crisis are often best placed to address it. Nowhere is that clearer than in our Climate Fellowship — a vibrant network of young female climate activists and land defenders from Mexico and Central America, reclaiming land, reviving Indigenous knowledge and challenging those who put profit before the planet.

This Earth Day, we have a remarkable opportunity

Through the Big Give’s Big Earth Raise, we’ve been awarded £8,000 of match funding. Donate between midday on Tuesday 22nd April and midday on Tuesday 29th April, and your gift will be doubled. Every pound you give will go twice as far.

This year’s Climate Fellows

This year, 14 new activists from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala and Costa Rica will receive training and seed funding to lead projects in disaster risk management, sustainable farming, water protection, conservation, coastal restoration and support for displaced Indigenous women.

What your support makes possible

Last year, thanks to your generosity, Tia set up the first women’s fire brigade in Tepoztlán, Mexico — tackling wildfires and restoring forests. And Frida launched a youth-led initiative reclaiming traditional chinampas — floating gardens — near Mexico City, reviving ancestral farming methods and sharing what they grow with the community around them.

This year, your donation will help us:

• Train 14 young women climate activists in project management
• Fund a women-led disaster warning and risk management plan
• Support a women-led soil conservation and water management project
• Recover ancestral knowledge for sustainable food production
• Provide ongoing training to 93 Micelias network members
• Run two location-based learning hubs

Right now, thanks to our match funding, £10 becomes £20, £20 becomes £40 and £40 becomes £80. But the window is short — donations must be made between midday 22nd April and midday 29th April to qualify.

Please donate today if you can.
