Vision, Mission & Values

#WeDoHope

For 40 years, this has been our driving force. We do hope by challenging injustice. We do hope by standing with those on the frontlines. We do hope by refusing to look away.

We do hope together, actively, stubbornly and even when the odds feel impossible. We do hope, as we do not have ‘the luxury of despair’. *

Our vision

We envision a world where justice flows like rivers, where the silenced are heard and where no one is forgotten. A world where dignity, equality and freedom aren’t privileges for the few — they’re rights for all.

Our mission

We challenge injustice, build hope alongside grassroots partners and activists around the world. We listen, learn and respond to what communities actually need. And we believe the most powerful change comes from creative, community-led work that addresses the root causes — not just the symptoms.

What drives us

• Hope is essential to human flourishing. We cultivate hope through solidarity, action and small victories that build momentum.
• Justice is the foundation for real peace. Reconciliation without accountability is hollow. We work for justice that transforms systems, holds power accountable and creates conditions where everyone can thrive.
• Rights are non-negotiable. We promote human dignity and walk alongside people as they defend and claim their rights — whether that’s the right to land, water, safety, movement or simply to exist without fear.

How we work

• We’re responsive — we listen first, then act. We create platforms where communities can speak for themselves and lead their own movements for change.
• We’re creative — we use art, music, storytelling and culture to challenge injustice and shift hearts. Creativity opens doors that statistics and policy papers can’t.
• We’re collaborative — we partner with local organisations, international networks, supporters and activists. We believe in the power of collective action and shared struggle.
• We’re spiritual — we foster an inclusive spirituality of activism that equips and sustains people on the long road to justice.

Where we come from

Amos’ name comes from Dr. Martin Luther King’s use of the Hebrew prophet Amos’ call to “Let justice flow like rivers.” Our roots are in the stream of inclusive Christianity that believes in justice and liberation for the oppressed.
