Wi’am Conflict Resolution Centre is our oldest partner in Palestine and provides an oasis for Palestinian communities in and around Bethlehem.
Situated next to a main checkpoint, and overlooked by a military watchtower and the Separation Wall, the centre provides a joyful act of peaceful resistance through its cultivation of community gardens complete with children’s play area.
The centre aims to strengthen local communities and to support them in tackling increased family breakdowns and community tensions created by the occupation and lack of freedom. Wi'am is rooted in the belief that helping people resolve their personal conflicts helps to preserve Palestinian society and people's faith in non-violent possibilities.
It offers counselling, mediation and reconciliation, helping to address the needs of all community groups including women, young people, couples, older people, neighbours and children.
To find out more about the work and theology that lies behind Wi'am and their long-standing relationship with Amos, please watch this short film.

In Summer 2020, Amos Trust will relive our Just Walk to Jerusalem. We want as many people as possible to join us, so that together, we walk the 3,000 miles it takes to reach Jerusalem. In 2017 we walked from London to Jerusalem to apologise to the Palestinian people for Britain’s Balfour Declaration. In 2020 we are walking again to say “No!” to Israel’s annexation of up to 1/3 of the West Bank and to raise the money needed to keep calling for justice for Palestinians. Step Out, Step Up and Stop Annexation.
Amos Trust is privileged to have been developing links and building relationships with the visual arts community in Gaza since 2015. On Location is our new project which will promote, support and celebrate the power, resilience, professionalism and vibrancy of the artistic community living and working under siege in Gaza today. Watch our short film featuring Gazan artist and On Location Project Manager (Gaza), Shareef Sarhan. Filmed and edited by We Are Not Numbers in Gaza City.
Discovering you have breast cancer is devastating but if you live in the Gaza Strip, it is three times more likely to be terminal. In an economy on its knees, edging out of another conflict, this is impossible for many people. The best hope is early detection. October is breast cancer awareness month and we’re asking the woman of the UK to stand in solidarity with our sisters in Gaza by hosting a local event to raise awareness and support amongst family, friends and neighbours throughout October, November and December.
"This year marks the seventieth anniversary of the Nakba. It is a sentence that a lot of people will read over the coming months and may choose not to delve too deeply into." Loosely based on a real-life character still living in Gaza, 'The Shroud Maker' is a dark new satire, telling one woman’s story of survival.
"We act not because we are hopeful, but because it is the right thing to do. We act because we have been inspired by our Palestinian friends and because of all that we have learnt from them." Amos Director Chris Rose writes about the 70th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba.
