Amos Trust believes that another world is possible, a world where justice flows, the silenced are heard and no one is forgotten. We work to challenge injustice, restore rights and create hope.
We work with vibrant grass-roots partners around the world who have unique local experience, expertise and connections — developing local solutions to global issues. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.
Amos Trust is not an aid organisation. But how can we stand in solidarity with people in Gaza and the West Bank if we do not do all that we can to support them when we see so much suffering? 92% of homes in Gaza City have been destroyed or badly damaged and the infrastructure has been completely obliterated. Further north, in Jabalia, Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia, the devastation is even worse. Please help.
Across Mexico and Central America, young women are leading the fight for climate justice — standing against deforestation, pollution, water scarcity and land seizure. In communities where patriarchal traditions make their voices harder to hear, they face isolation, threats and enormous challenges. But they refuse to back down.
“In many countries, those who are standing up for Palestinian rights and calling for justice, now find themselves having draconian laws implemented against them, which is why we must not stop.” Chris Rose writes that many Palestinians feel that they are living through the Longest Good Friday.
“We, the undersigned organisations, call upon global leaders to uphold their legal and moral responsibilities in light of the ICJ’s Advisory Opinion and the UN General Assembly resolution.” Read our shared post about how world leaders must act to end Israel’s unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
In the early hours of Tuesday 18th March, Israel launched fresh bombing raids on Gaza, tearing up what was left of the ceasefire agreement. These raids killed over 404 people (including 100 children), injured hundreds more and terrified the entire community. Read our update on the current situation in Gaza following the end of the ceasefire.
“While our expertise is in arts and culture, the harsh realities on the ground have made relief work an unavoidable responsibility.” In this month’s Stories of Hope, we hear from Ribal Alkurdi, Executive Director at Alrowwad Cultural Centre, who explains why they feel compelled to undertake food programmes in Aida Refugee Camp.
At COP26 in November 2021, we spoke to several young female climate activists from the Global South. They have expressed that their solidarity, spanning thousands of miles, inspires them to make a change in their communities. They were enthusiastic about more connection and a more structured opportunity to connect in solidarity and collaboration, which led to the development of the Amos Trust Climate Fellowship.
