We do hope

Welcome to Amos Trust. We are a small creative human rights organisation committed to challenging injustice, building hope and creating positive change.

Climate Justice

There Is No Planet B

Climate change is a justice issue

Climate change is a justice issue. Those who have the least political and economic power, and the least responsibility for the changing climate are affected the most.

There Is No Planet B Helping the rural communities of Nicaragua to flourish

“When I was a girl, I remember the rainy seasons as having more rain. You used to know when to plant, but now you don’t. We have a climate that’s changed.” Rosa from La Concepción in Teustepe. Nicaragua is the fourth most at-risk nation in the world due to climate change. We equip rural communities in Nicaragua with the skills and resources needed to develop sustainable responses that lift them from poverty and promote food security. Please help us: There Is No Planet B.

It’s been a long week Karin Joseph

“Last Monday was International Women’s Day, a global day intended to celebrate women. Just 8 days ago. Since then, a number of things have happened. Meghan Markle shared openly about her mental health struggles and men in the media promptly accused her of lying for attention. A grim milestone was reached, passing a year since Breonna Taylor’s murder by police, in her own home, with as yet no justice served. The UK government are debating a new policing bill which would lead to 10-year sentences for defacing of statues, longer than the average sentence for rape.” Karin Joseph writes about a very difficult week for women in the UK.

Karunalaya photo gallery Images by Tom Merilion

We invited photographer and filmmaker Tom Merilion to share some of his favourite images from his visit to our partner Karunalaya in India. Tom said, “I was blown away by the people I met; the staff, the children and the adults they support. Karunalaya is a very special place. Hopefully the following images capture some of that magic.”

Leaving a legacy to Amos in your will is one of the best ways you can do this, but we understand that it’s something that some people might find hard to think about.
