Amos Trust believes that another world is possible, a world where justice flows, the silenced are heard and no one is forgotten. We work to challenge injustice, restore rights and create hope.
We work with vibrant grass-roots partners around the world who have unique local experience, expertise and connections — developing local solutions to global issues. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.
Amos is seeking to appoint a part-time, paid Intern/Trainee to join our small, highly committed team. The person appointed will work across all areas of our work, gaining experience in each with the possibility to further pursue specific areas of interest. The Intern/Trainee will be expected to come into the Amos office in the City of London on a weekly basis, but may also do some work from home. Full details.
The July edition of Amos’ First Of The Month sees the staff team write about hospitality. And food. “We have learnt so much from our partners and friends around the world, but possibly the greatest thing has been the gift and power of hospitality.” Dig in.
Following the postponement of last year’s Road Club Ride through the Forest of Dean, we are delighted to be able to head out again on an Amos Road Club ride. Join us in October as we ride through the Cotswolds and Stratford-Upon-Avon. We welcome non-riding partners and everyone will be able to opt for a shorter, flat ride along ‘The Greenway’ into Stratford. The cost per head is £100 which includes dinner, bed and breakfast and packed lunch/snacks for the ride. Full details.
“In Europe, if you mention the word apartheid in South Africa almost everyone expresses their disagreement with it and how much they have been against it. If you mention Black Lives Matter in the UK, almost everyone is supportive of the civil right movement. But when it comes to us Palestinians, there’s only silence.” Ahmed Masoud writes about the current situation in East Jerusalem.
“India is burning. Coronavirus is spreading throughout the country with renewed and devastating force, as new daily cases, at the time of writing, surpass 360,000, and the total death toll passes the grim milestone of 200,000. Funeral pyres are burning in car parks, on pavements and beside rivers, as crematoriums struggle to cope with the influx of the dead.” Karin Joseph writes about the current situation in India.
When last year’s COP (UN Climate Change Conference) was delayed by 12 months, young people from around the world called their own ‘Mock COP’. Delegates from 140 countries put together and voted through their own treaty with 18 policies/demands for COP 26. For our own COP 26 webinar, we were delighted to host a group of young climate activists from the UK and Nicaragua who were drawn together by our partner CEPAD.
We work alongside grass-roots partners in Palestine, South Africa, Nicaragua, Burundi, India and Tanzania.
Reaching children on the streets, addressing their trauma, working with them and their families to reintegrate them into their homes, to realise their rights and recover their future.
Working with local and international peace activists, and partnering with grass-roots projects, to call for a just peace, reconciliation and full equal rights for all Palestinians and Israelis.
Addressing the impact of climate change and the causes of extreme poverty, building sustainable rural communities and empowering them to realise their rights.
Bringing people together to meet our partners from around the world, visiting the communities they work in and seeing their projects in action — building solidarity and lasting friendships.
