"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.
I am a Maya K’iche’ woman, part of one of Guatemala’s largest Indigenous groups. I am an artist, cultural manager, singer, community journalist, and architect, born in Totonicapán, Guatemala. As a pioneer in art and the climate crisis (since 2012), I have been an activist in art and culture since the age of 11.
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.
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.
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.

In February 2025, Chris Rose, Amos Trust’s Director, visited Nicaragua to meet with the former CEPAD team and trustees. His visit aimed to express our ongoing support, gain a deeper understanding of Nicaragua’s political climate and plan our next steps.
