CHAMPIONING A SAFER, FAIRER WORLD FOR INDIGENOUS CHILDREN. 
THERE WILL BE NO CLIMATE SOLUTION WITHOUT INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND THE PROTECTION OF THEIR RIGHTS​

Every child, everywhere, from the strees tof Harare to the mountains of Mexico and the volcanoes of Guatemala, deserves to realise their full potential free from violence.

​Yet too many lack access to even food, education and basic healthcare. Too many are innocent victims in adult wargames, in genocide, forced migration and poverty and economic sanctions.

​AMOR (UK charity no. 1149487) champions a safer and more humane world for indigenous children, helping rebuild  lives and communities devastated by conflict and poverty through educational, health and human rights work that empowers indigenous women, and revives traditional knowledge. AMOR works tirelessly for children in memory of the 116 Mayan children and hundreds of women and men massacred on 21st May 1988 in the village of Chiul, Guatemala.

​Our innovative programmes help lift up cultures and communities, prevent migration, create healthy and sustainable solutions, build climate resilience and save lives.​

AMOR is a story of triumph over
​extreme adversity
​​AMOR was founded by Mayan philosopher, human rights activist, leader, day keeper, author and artist Arnulfo 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.

The AMOR Solution

Through our programmes in Central America, Africa and the Middle East, we're transforming the lives of children blighted by hunger and war.

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, midwifery and agriculture.

EDUCATION

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

HUMAN RIGHTS & LEADERSHIP 

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

SPONSOR AN INDIGENOUS CHILD

When you sponsor an indigenous child, 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. ​

Message from the Founder 

My name is Arnulfo Oxlaj, AMOR president and founder.

I´m a native 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 land, without freedom and without hope.

​It's time to change this, together.
