Justice and hope for the forgotten
Amos Trust, promoting human rights and nurturing local responses to situations of injustice
Promoting justice
Established around the work of Garth Hewitt in 1985, Amos Trust is a small, creative human rights organisation, committed to challenging injustice, building hope and creating positive change. Amos works with a network of community projects around the world to raise awareness of and provide support to responses that address the root causes of injustice and poverty. Having made links with partners across the developing world, Amos has learnt from them, been inspired by them and has tried to respond practically by providing the support they need.
Close and long-standing relationship with partners allows Amos to have an in depth understanding of the issues they face and of the numerous barriers they have to overcome to provide hope for their communities. Their experiences, knowledge and understanding has created a theology and spirituality which underpins all Amos’ work and is caught in the music, writing and resources produced by Amos Trust.
Amos works with a wide cross section of organizations and individuals, playing a key role in raising awareness of the issues, developing campaigns and lobbying for change.
