Amos Trust is a small creative human rights organisation committed to challenging injustice, building hope and creating positive change. We partner with vibrant grass-roots projects around the world that have unique local experience, expertise and connections. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.
Take a look through our range of resources, blog posts, downloads and products to find out more about our Palestine Justice work.
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.
Like everyone, we welcomed the long-overdue ceasefire on 9th October — a moment of fragile relief after a year of unimaginable loss. Families are finally returning to what’s left of their homes, searching for the remains of loved ones buried beneath rubble. The long, painful work of rebuilding lives can, at last, begin. But this is not the end. Not yet.
This year marks Amos Trust’s 40th anniversary, and this month, Chris Rose reflects on 40 years of doing hope and invites you to celebrate with us. We also share news of our partners in Palestine, our new Big Hope Fund and introduce our ‘Amos at 40’ brochure.
Amos Trust’s On Location exhibition introduces leading visual artists from Gaza and explores the motivations, frustrations and realities of being artists under siege. This 62-page, full-colour coffee table catalogue of the collection is printed on 200-gram silk art board and is the perfect gift for the art lover in your life.
Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City was bombed on 17th October 2023 — up to 500 people were killed. Despite the extreme adversity, the Al Ahli Hospital staff and volunteers are committed to serving the community through out-patient and in-patient care.
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 a rallying cry to onlookers around the world, WANN’s new book offers unparalleled insight into the real lives of the people of Gaza and imagines where we might go from here.
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.
