I am a Morelian woman, mother, artist, and independent worker. Since 2014, I have been involved in various collective efforts to defend territories and make visible the violences affecting them.
"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.

Vanessa Villamonte Panama
I am a woman passionate about nature, convinced that every corner of the planet is sacred. I grew up in the Darién province, known by many as the “heart of the universe” and the “lungs of Central America.” A place where each tree tells a story, and every ray of sunlight caresses the earth. From a young age, I learned to listen to the whisper of the wind and absorb the wisdom of the Indigenous women in our communities regarding our environment.
