Climate Justice Appeal

Equipping local communities in Nicaragua to break the cycle of poverty and claim their rights.

"The rain has failed for 3 years. The only working well is 4.5 km away and the river is dry. They say the water is polluted and we shouldn’t drink it, but what choice do we have?" Hipolito, Las Joyas, Nicaragua

Amos Climate Justice seeks to develop a greater understanding of how to support highly impoverished rural communities as they face the impact of climate change.

Over the next 5 years we will be supporting seven rural communities in Teustepe, Nicaragua through our long-term partner CEPAD – a vibrant community-led organisation working with communities to identify their needs and provide training and resources, equipping communities to become self-sustaining.

Their needs include access to electricity, water and healthcare; better roads, farming skills, leadership training, youth work and women’s economic development.

Join us and journey with the people of Teustepe.
