Amos Trust is a small, creative human rights organisation, committed to challenging injustice, building hope and creating positive change.
This year’s Amos Trust Christmas appeal will be supporting Wi’am Conflict Resolution Centre’s SMILE children’s holiday programme and their women’s empowerment projects in Bethlehem. Every year the Amos Trust Christmas Appeal raises money for grassroots projects in the West Bank and Gaza. It’s been a difficult year for Palestine — more so than usual. Please support and share our Christmas appeal. Full details.
Thoughts and reflections for Christmas. “One year, will it slip away? Will the meaning finally be lost? Will the annual cycle of readings, carols, prayers for peace and a light shining in the darkness — finally, give up the ghost?” A poem from Amos Trust’s Chris Rose.
“I’ve been guilty over the last few months of shirking my responsibilities towards a cause that is very close to my heart. On the eve of International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, I’ve decided to renew my commitment to this cause, to seeking justice and equal rights for everyone who calls the Holy Land home.” Sarah Baron writes about how we can reinvigorate our support for Palestine.
“It’s like on a flight. When the flight attendant says, ‘Make sure you put your own breathing mask on first, before helping the person next to you.’ She is absolutely right. If we can’t breathe we are of no use to anyone.” Karin Joseph writes about the first On Her Terms conference in Devon in October 2018.
“In spite of our heartbreak over Mali's decision, we can recognise the small victory that is Mali's choice in this, her completion of exams at 16 and her knowledge of women’s rights.” Azey Bennetts writes about the importance of small victories when working with girls on the streets of India.
“When I come into Nicaraguan airspace I can feel my soul re-enter my body.” Those of you who’ve been there will resonate with those words of Nicaraguan author Gioconda Belli. I felt something similar when I returned there in February, co-leading the recent Amos trip.” Peter Bone shares his thoughts about his return visit to Nicaragua.
We work alongside grass-roots partners in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip 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.
