Fuel the fight for Climate Justice

Through Amos Trust’s Climate Fellowship, 12 young female activists will receive the training, funding and solidarity they need to turn local action into global impact.

Will you stand with them?

• £20 supplies materials for a waste collection campaign in an Indigenous community
• £50 equips five women with water-harvesting skills
• £100 funds an environmental management workshop
• £350 would install a rainwater harvesting system for a family in urgent need

Your donation can help these women reclaim their rights, safeguard their land, and build a future where communities thrive — not just survive.

Alejandrina Pinto

Alejandrina: Turning scarcity into growth
— — — — — — —

“Imagining and weaving worlds.”

In the Cuxtal Ecological Reserve, where 50% of Mérida’s drinking water is sourced, local Indigenous communities barely receive a few hours of heavily chlorinated water each day. The poor water quality is devastating Alejandrina’s women-led garden project. She’s determined to change that — by installing rainwater collectors in backyard gardens, transforming scarce resources into abundant growth.

Sinaí Gomez

Sinaí: Defending ancestral water rights

“I believe in networks of solidarity and care exchange to support and sustain our collective resistance.”

In Santa Maria Chi, a local pig farm is poisoning the water. Sinaí’s project revives ancestral Mayan water collection techniques, helping women access clean water for daily needs while challenging the government’s inaction on contamination.

Cinthia Santoyo

Cinthia: Fighting for a waste-free future
— — — — — — —

“Because everything that has life but no voice must be defended, cared for, respected, and loved.”

In Kinil, mounting waste threatens the environment and public health. Cinthia’s initiative empowers her community with sustainable waste management solutions, protecting people and the planet.

These women — and nine others — are standing up for their communities and our planet. Will you stand with them?

Background

Amos Trust’s Climate was born from a powerful climate conference in Cambridge in 2019, where over 30 organisations and activists gathered to tackle the climate crisis.

Three key goals emerged:

1. Support Indigenous-led climate action in the Global South
2. Invest in women-led initiatives
3. Empower young activists to drive change

Doing Hope in Mexico & Central America

The 2024/25 Climate Fellowship is supporting 12 young women activists across Mexico and Central America, providing training and seed funding to help them safeguard their land and strengthen their leadership in climate action.

The challenges are immense — forced displacement, deforestation, soil degradation and water contamination — all worsened by patriarchal structures and exploitative industries. But these women are not backing down.

They know protecting their land means preserving their culture, identity and community well-being. With your support, they can turn local action into global impact.
