Climate Justice Appeal

Equipping local communities in Nicaragua to break the cycle of poverty and claim their rights.

"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.

COP 26 Young Climate Activists

When last year’s COP (UN Climate Change Conference) was delayed by 12 months, young people from around the world called their own ‘Mock COP’. Delegates from 140 countries put together and voted through their own treaty with 18 policies/demands for COP 26. For our own COP 26 webinar, we were delighted to host a group of young climate activists from the UK and Nicaragua who were drawn together by our partner CEPAD.

Nicaragua is one of the countries most affected by climate change.

This webinar marked the launch of our new five-year programme with our partner CEPAD. We are investing in their work in seven rural communities in Nicaragua’s dry belt — where long periods of drought are now followed by intense rain and flooding, and where hurricanes are becoming more frequent and more severe.
