AMOS is a Christian nonprofit organization in Nicaragua, supported by American Baptists. Founded by David and Laura Parajon, AMOS addresses problems of poverty, disease, and preventable deaths by working alongside the residents of impoverished communities as they improve health, education, and development. Evaluations have consistently shown reductions in infant and child mortality and improvements in maternal health in each of the communities in which AMOS works. In addition to our missions giving, Knollwood teams have traveled to Nicaragua to provide hands-on assistance and supplies and to learn from AMOS Health and Hope.
