Street Justice:
Meeting children and young people on the streets, recognising the trauma they experience, working with their families, challenging negative perceptions and advocating for their rights.
Life for girls and young women on the streets is particularly hard and the support they need is often challenging to provide. Amos Trust’s aim is to help teenage girls and young women on the streets to realise their rights.
They work with grass-roots organisations in South Africa, Burundi, Tanzania and India. These partners have developed highly focused, local responses to reach children and young people on the streets. Amos Trust is committed to supporting work with girls and young women on the streets in particular.

Climate Justice:
Climate change 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. Nicaragua is particularly vulnerable — being the fourth most at-risk nation in the world due to changing climates.
Amos Trust supports seven isolated, rural communities in Teustepe in Nicaragua, over 5 years, addressing the impact of climate change and causes of extreme poverty. They work through a local partner to empower these seven communities with the skills, knowledge, resources and community resilience required to change their futures, claim their rights, overcome poverty and thrive – with programmes focusing on education, training and empowering women.

Palestine Justice:
Amos Trust works with local and international peace activists, partnering with grass-roots projects, campaigning for Palestinian equal rights and an end to Israel’s apartheid policies.
Amos Trust’s Palestinian partners run community programmes to promote creative, non-violent resistance to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza — and work to relieve the stress and despair that the occupation causes within these communities.
Amos Trust seeks to share stories, stand with Palestinian’s in their suffering and support the work they do — raising awareness of the horrors of home demolitions, the building of the Separation Wall, restrictions on freedom of movement and the daily impact of life under occupation.
