Thursday 1st October at 6pm BST
With Dieudonne Nahimana from New Generation in Burundi and Mpendulo Nyembe from Umthombo in South Africa. Full details below.
Events, webinars, exhibitions and gigs — join us. Put one foot in front of the other — then do it again and again and again...
Season 2, Episode 2: Important conversations about colonialism, empire and its legacy have been prominent throughout 2020. At Amos Trust, we know that without constant reflection and learning, organisations like ours can be guilty of perpetuating this painful legacy. Join Dieudonne Nahimana from New Generation in Burundi, and Mpendulo Nyembe from Umthombo in South Africa, as they discuss the legacy of colonisation in their countries.
Season 2, Episode 3: Every year, the International Day of the Girl is celebrated on 11th October and this special webinar a few days before will put girls’ voices at the centre. Hear from young women from our partner projects in Burundi, India, South Africa and Tanzania, and the workers who support them. In particular we’ll be hearing about the specific situations girls and young women are facing in 2020 and the demands girls are making for this year’s International Day of the Girl. Please join us.
Season 2, Episode 4: October is breast cancer awareness month or ‘Rosy October’ as it’s known in Gaza. Join us to hear from Suhaila Tarazi, Director of Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City and members of her team as they talk about Al Ahli’s breast cancer screening programme.
During the 2020 Lockdown, we thought it was more important than ever to continue to talk about the issues that all our partners face, particularly in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. This is a back catalogue of Amos@5 webinars from Season One featuring 30-minute conversations with thought-leaders and Amos partners and friends.
October is breast cancer awareness month (or Rosy October as they call it in Gaza). We’re asking woman in the UK to stand in solidarity with women in Gaza by hosting a virtual fundraising event throughout October, November and December, or by donating to our Women 4 Women Appeal. Just £60 provides breast cancer screening for a woman in Gaza. What will you do?
We’re currently trying to plan what, if anything, we’ll be able to offer in terms of a physical carol service this year. We hope to be able to do one face-to-face, non-virtual but socially-distanced event in London — we’re just trying to work out some of the finer details so that we comply with the latest guidelines. As soon as anything is confirmed, we’ll let everyone know.
Join us on our annual Amos Road Club cycle ride. We have chosen the Wye Valley as it’s such a beautiful area, fairly easy to get to and has a great selection of rides in the Forest of Dean but also up to the Malvern’s and even the Cotswolds. Full details.
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.
At the core of Amos Trust’s work are the individuals who support us. Our work is made possible by you. Large or small, your donation makes a real difference.
