Holy Land Trust, in Bethlehem, enables creative programmes and projects – both locally and globally – that foster understanding, healing and empowerment of individuals and communities affected by the Israeli occupation.
Their community outreach team works tirelessly to strengthen communities and to unite local people in acts of non-violent resistance against the occupation.
Training programmes are run for all ages in non-violence and leadership – with unique workshops for women and children to enable them to rebuild self-esteem, and equip them with practical and creative strategies to deal with, and challenge, the oppression they experience daily.
The Trust’s 'Peace Research and Learning Centre' is a vital hub, from which they host conferences, run courses, offer outreach seminars and provide a comprehensive library. It also attracts scholars, experts and students from different fields from around the world – inspiring pioneering teaching and research on issues such as non-violence, peace, conflict resolution, non-linear thinking and healing traumas.
Please watch our short film which explains more about the work of Holy Land Trust and their unique relationship with Amos Trust.

“In the past year, I have lost many of the tangible parts of my memories — the people and places and things that helped me remember. Every destroyed house becomes a kind of album, filled not with photos but with real people, the dead pressed between its pages.” Read our latest Gaza update with news of our partners, Al Ahli Hospital, DSPR, the Gaza Sunbirds and We Are Not Numbers.
Our second book of poetry, prose, creative writing and reflection is now available. ‘Seeds Of Hope: More Thoughts and Reflections from Amos Trust’ has contributions from Zena Kazeme, Arundhati Roy, Ben Okri, Cornel West, Angela Davis, Robert Cohen, Maya Angelou and our partner Abdelfattah Abusrour. “What a wonderful collection of writing — rich, deep, broad, funny, touching, angry, and, most importantly, encouraging.” Brian Eno — producer, musician, writer and artist.
Following the 2014 Gaza War and decades of oppression and resistance, the storytelling platform We Are Not Numbers (WANN) was founded to give a voice to the youth of Gaza.

In the early hours of Tuesday 18th March, Israel launched fresh bombing raids on Gaza, tearing up what was left of the ceasefire agreement.

Last summer, Anne M Jones — grandmother, retired social worker and psychotherapist — cycled 1,900m up to the summit of Mont Ventoux. She was 82. She did it because she was horrified by the genocide in Gaza. A year on, the situation in Gaza is even worse — no aid has been allowed in since the 2nd of March and the entire population is being starved. Read Anne’s story.
A delicious way to fundraise. Hosting a Palestinian supper club is a great way to celebrate culture, community and solidarity.
