"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.
We have to act and we need to start small and build from there. As we act we must also remind ourselves why we are doing it — out of a deep love for creation, in recognition of our interconnectedness and for the sake of our children.
In a world ravaged by crises, this inspiring biography of Nicaraguan public health pioneer and peacemaker Gustavo Parajón encourages readers to reach out to the world’s neediest people courageously. Parajón inherited a deep Christian faith from his family, making him a fearless example of navigating dangerous conflicts and public health crises.
“When I was a girl, I remember the rainy seasons as having more rain. You used to know when to plant, but now you don’t. We have a climate that’s changed.” Rosa from La Concepción in Teustepe. Nicaragua is the fourth most at-risk nation in the world due to climate change. We equip rural communities in Nicaragua with the skills and resources needed to develop sustainable responses that lift them from poverty and promote food security. Please help us: There Is No Planet B.
We are currently experiencing a global climate catastrophe and it is a justice issue. Those who have the least political and economic power, and the least responsibility for the changing climate, are affected the most. We recognise that we, in the global north, bear the most responsibility for the climate crisis. Read our Environmental Impact Statement. Full details.
We want to train farmers so that they can grow more water-tolerant crops as well as fruit and vegetables that are better suited to the changing conditions. They will be taught how to create organic pesticides, composts and fertilisers, and how to manage their water and soil effectively. Can you help us?
A short trailer to introduce Amos Trust’s climate justice work in rural Nicaragua. We’re delighted to share this first film release from our recent trip to Nicaragua. It’s a short trailer that we hope gives you a flavour of who we met and what we saw. We’ll be making several more films over the next few months so we hope that this trailer will tide you over.
"Our partners at CEPAD and our many other friends in Nicaragua are deeply saddened by the current political situation having lived through dictatorship, civil war and the joy that the Sandanista’s election brought to many — there is now disillusionment." Katie Hagley shares an update from CEPAD, our partner in Nicaragua, about the current political situation in Nicaragua.
