TACKLING POVERTY AND INJUSTICE THROUGH EDUCATION AND REVIVAL OF INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE

​Everyone, everywhere, from the streets of London to the cloud forests of Guatemala, deserves to realise their full potential, free from poverty or injustice.

​Yet too many lack access to even food, education and basic healthcare, in particular indigenous people. And those who suffer most are indigenous children, over two-thirds of whom are chronically malnourished.

​AMOR's programmes help alleviate suffering among Mayan people in Central America, fight the causes of racism, poverty and injustice and help rebuild indigenous communities worldwide devastated by genocide, poverty and war through an education that helps all people realise their full potential and by reviving traditional knowledge.

Transforming lives in the UK, we empower people to take control of their future and change their own lives by helping others overseas.​

AMOR is a story of triumph over tremendous adversity
​​AMOR was founded by Mayan philosopher, human rights activist, medicine man, author and artist Arnulfo Gomez Oxlaj. The only survivor of a child massacre in his Guatemalan village in which 115 children perished, Arnulfo resolved to help transform that tragedy into action to help his people rise out of the ashes of genocide and contribute their gifts to the world.

How Can I Live AMOR?

HEALTH FOR LIFE

Children can't realise their potential on an empty stomach. AMOR  supports maternal and child health, builds homes and smoke-free stoves, promotes sustainable livelihoods and trains women in traditional health provision and midwifery.

EDUCATION CENTRES

From building Community Education Centres to preserving ancestral knowledge, AMOR equips marginalised people with the tools and confidence to fulfil their potential and transform the world around them. ​

HUMAN RIGHTS & LEADERSHIP 

By building women's leadership and supporting human rights activists and empowering victims, AMOR is helping create a brighter future in the most marginalised native communities. 

SPONSOR A MAYAN CHILD

When you sponsor a child's education, you invest in a future in which children have the key to freedom so they can contribute their gifts to society. And when you do that, you help lift up a whole community, a nation, a world. ​

GLOBAL AMBASSADORS

Transforming lives in the UK, we empower people to take control of their future and change their own lives by helping others overseas. We are passionate about global education and building a community of socially responsible, caring people.

Message from the Founder 

My name is Arnulfo Oxlaj, founder of AMOR.

I´m a native American, a Mayan whose soul cries out with those of my ancestors when every day I see children born into the world condemned to be beggars, without a space, without freedom and without hope.

​It's time to change this, together.
