Amos Trust is a small, creative human rights organisation, committed to challenging injustice, building hope and creating positive change.
For the next 18 months, our Palestine campaign will be ‘Ahlan Gaza’. It will follow the simple stories of people living in Gaza, people trying to live with dignity as their options close in on them each year. How do you encourage children to be hopeful for their future when unemployment is at 59%? How do you feed your family when 70% of the population is on food aid? How do you run a business on 5 hours electricity a day?
In our May Nicaragua update you can find out how you can join our Nicaragua Adventure in 2020, read Amos Trust’s Director Chris Rose’s reflections on the changes in Teustepe over the last 5 years, hear from CEPAD director Dámaris Albuquerque and find out about where you can see Dámaris and Gilberto when they visit the UK this Autumn.
“He could not have known that every single one of his five children would be displaced in 1967 and that they would all lose their right to be called Palestinians. He could not have ever imagined that not a single one of his 19 grandchildren or 24 great grandchildren would live in Palestine or have any Palestinian documentation.” Phoebe Rison from Sabeel-Kairos UK writes about her family roots in Palestine on Nakba Day 2019
The annual Amos Road Club ride is open to all ages and abilities. Our ride this year will take place in the Peak District. We have chosen Hartington Hall which is near Buxton in Derbyshire as it’s a really beautiful area, easy to get to and it’s not at all lumpy. We're planning on offering a range of routes for different abilities and tastes. Please join us.
This trip will enable you to meet children on the streets and their families, to discover for yourself the issues they face, and to learn about the solutions they are exploring with Karunalaya; solutions that speak of creativity, resilience, hope, and perseverance against the odds.
Join us at Greenbelt 2019 when we'll be cooking up a storm in The Table as well as hosting a series of talks and discussions around issues of climate justice. Join us at Boughton House, near Kettering on the August Bank Holiday weekend. Full details to follow.
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. We have a moral and ethical imperative to respond to their call for immediate action. We are inviting community activists, experts, artists and theologians from the UK and the Global South to take part in an interactive 3-day summit at the St Paul’s Centre, Cambridge. Full details
Join us for All Our Worlds – Amos Day 2019, in London at Amnesty International’s HQ when we’ll share some of what we’ve been working on in 2019 and some of what we have planned for 2020 and beyond. Please join us for the whole day, or just the morning or afternoon sessions. Registration is now open.
Join Team Amos and run the Royal Parks Half Marathon through London this October and raise funds for Amos’ On Her Terms campaign. If you’re new to running or want to beat your PB, this is a great challenge and an opportunity to run in solidarity for girls and young women.
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.
