"The rain has failed for 3 years. The only working well is 4.5 km away and the river is dry. They say the water is polluted and we shouldn’t drink it, but what choice do we have?" Hipolito, Las Joyas, Nicaragua
Amos Climate Justice seeks to develop a greater understanding of how to support highly impoverished rural communities as they face the impact of climate change.
Over the next 5 years we will be supporting seven rural communities in Teustepe, Nicaragua through our long-term partner CEPAD – a vibrant community-led organisation working with communities to identify their needs and provide training and resources, equipping communities to become self-sustaining.
Their needs include access to electricity, water and healthcare; better roads, farming skills, leadership training, youth work and women’s economic development.
Join us and journey with the people of Teustepe.
Our range of resource and fundraising packs, blog posts, downloads and products have been produced to help you find out more about Amos Climate Justice.
In honour of International Women’s Day, Amos Trust hosted a special webinar focusing on how climate change disproportionately impacts women from the Global South. Watch again as we hear from Marie Christina Kolo, Adenike Oladosu and Immaculate Akello — three fearless female climate activists, about the work they’re doing in their communities to fight against the climate crisis.
For our fifth episode of A Dozen Tuesdays we headed to Nicaragua where Amos Trust’s Karin Joseph was live in Teustepe with CEPAD Director Emily Reyes and Field Workers Harold Blandon and Joel Rodriguez, to celebrate CEPAD’s 50th anniversary. Emily, Harold and Joel updated us on their current work — particularly their new five-year programme with seven new communities around Teustepe in the Baoco region that Amos supports.
At Amos, we review the year each January and share our highlights. 2024 was an incredibly busy year and it was often a struggle to feel hopeful with all that was happening in Palestine. Looking back however, we were able to see so many glimmers of hope. Here are just a few of our highlights for 2024. Here’s to more Stories of Hope in 2025.
En la COP26 de noviembre de 2021, hablamos con varias jóvenes activistas climáticas del Sur Global. Expresaron que su solidaridad, que abarca miles de kilómetros, las inspira a generar un cambio en sus comunidades. Se mostraron entusiasmadas por una mayor conexión y una oportunidad más estructurada de conectarse en solidaridad y colaboración, lo que llevó al desarrollo de la Amos Trust Climate Fellowship.
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.
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.

I’m 28-years-old, born on the Gulf of Mexico and raised in the Caribbean. I studied a degree focused on water resources, but I found my community and my path in collective activism, supporting territorial defence in the Yucatán Peninsula from an urban perspective.
