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.

Tent of Nations is a farm run by the Nasser family south of Bethlehem. The family are due to hear the outcome of a long-running court case to ratify the ownership of their land. The case has been in the courts for decades and has been delayed numerous times — despite them having all the necessary paperwork. Watch again as we showed a recorded interview with Daoud Nasser and gave an update on the latest news.
Amos Trust is not an aid organisation. But how can we stand in solidarity with people in Gaza and the West Bank if we do not do all that we can to support them when we see so much suffering? 92% of homes in Gaza City have been destroyed or badly damaged and the infrastructure has been completely obliterated. Further north, in Jabalia, Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia, the devastation is even worse. Please help.
“In the past year, I have lost many of the tangible parts of my memories — the people and places and things that helped me remember. Every destroyed house becomes a kind of album, filled not with photos but with real people, the dead pressed between its pages.” Read our latest Gaza update with news of our partners, Al Ahli Hospital, DSPR, the Gaza Sunbirds and We Are Not Numbers.
In the early hours of Tuesday 18th March, Israel launched fresh bombing raids on Gaza, tearing up what was left of the ceasefire agreement. These raids killed over 404 people (including 100 children), injured hundreds more and terrified the entire community. Read our update on the current situation in Gaza following the end of the ceasefire.
“We, the undersigned organisations, call upon global leaders to uphold their legal and moral responsibilities in light of the ICJ’s Advisory Opinion and the UN General Assembly resolution.” Read our shared post about how world leaders must act to end Israel’s unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
“I had never been to the Middle East and very much wanted to go to Palestine so when I got the call from Amos Trust about the potential of a filming trip, I was on it like a hot knife on butter!” Film maker Pip Piper shares his experiences of filming in Palestine with Amos Trust.
