​
​WE'RE ON A MISSION TO REBUILD INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES, HEALTH AND LIVES THROUGH A NATIVE KNOWLEDGE RENAISSANCE
Everyone, everywhere, from the streets of London to the cloud forests of Guatemala, deserves to realise their full potential.

​Yet too many lack access to even food, education and basic healthcare, in particular indigenous people. And those who suffer most are indigenous children.

​AMOR (UK charity no. 1149487) helps alleviate suffering among Mayan people in Central America and the Shona of Southern Africa, helping rebuild communities and lives devastated by genocide and extreme poverty through educational, health and human rights work that empowers women, and utilises and revives indigenous knowledge.

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

Transforming lives in the UK, we empower disenfranchised young people to transform their limiting beliefs regarding themselves and others and take control of their lives and future through art, storytelling and volunteerism in nature.​

AMOR is a story of triumph over
​extreme adversity
​​AMOR was founded by Mayan philosopher, human rights activist, 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 UK, we're transforming what a learning experience can be.

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

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 CLASSROOM

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 - UK

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.
