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.
In our first blog post of the year, you will read about some of the occasions in 2024 when we heard about the ‘other world’ taking a breath. Sometimes, it was a long, deep gasp of air, others a rattly asthmatic cough. We are working with some great people on plans for 2025, which we are excited about and look forward to sharing with you soon but for now, below are some of our highlights from 2024.
On 6th April 2024, Layan Nasir was taken at gunpoint from her parents’ home in the West Bank, after 15 soldiers burst into her house to arrest her. She was held without charge on administrative detention until her release shortly before Christmas. Since 7th October 2023, Israel has arrested or detained over 14,000 Palestinians from Jerusalem and the West Bank and countless more from Gaza. Join Layan and human rights lawyer Tala Nasir as they discuss the appalling conditions in Israeli jails and the widespread hunger, physical, sexual and psychological abuse of Palestinian prisoners.

Amos has partnered with Al Ahli Baptist Hospital for over 30 years. On 17th October 2023, its diagnostic unit was hit by a shell in the first days of the war. Then on 17th October, Al Ahli was the first hospital in Gaza to be hit by a rocket. Read our blog post about the hospital one year on.
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.
