AMOR’s mission is the protection and promotion of Mayan heritage. AMOR works to end apartheid against the Mayan people and help rebuild the indigenous Mayan communities devastated by genocide by restoring their ancestral knowledge and heritage foundations in terms of health, economy, languages, architecture, wisdom through education.
AMOR is home to the non-violent movement for peace, justice and self-determination for the 30 Mayan ethnicities, and the preservation of their critically endangered knowledge, heritage, lands and lives. AMOR was founded by K’iche Mayan leader, wise man, medicine man, philosopher and author Arnulfo Oxlaj, the only survivor of a child massacre in a well in which 115 children perished.
Our community-led programmes, carried out in close collaboration with native Mayan community groups across rural Central America, are founded on education and cover the gamut from nutritional interventions to human rights training and humane education, homebuilding, support for agriculture and entrepreneurship and practical health initiatives such as smoke-free stoves. One of AMOR’s signature endeavours is the training and organising of leaders to lead the regional campaigns for reparation for the genocide against the Mayan people in Guatemala, officially denied. By building strong, committed teams, we are able to work much more efficiently and give greater value for money, providing a solid investment in peace and the future of Mayan women, children and communities.
AMOR is the dream of K'iche' Mayan Founder Arnulfo Gomez Oxlaj. The only survivor of a child massacre in his village in which 115 children perished, ever since Arnulfo has been working tirelessly to help transform that tragedy into freedom for the Mayan people, to help his people rise out of the ashes of genocide and contribute their gifts to the world.
Above all, AMOR is a dream of freedom for the great Mayan civilisation, for all Native Peoples and the world.
