A LITTLE GIRL ON A BIG JOURNEY

Little Amal is the 12 foot puppet of  a 10 year old Syrian refugee child at the
heart of The Walk.  She has become a global symbol of human rights, especially
those of refugees. 

Since July 2021, Amal has travelled to 160 towns and cities in 16 countries and
been welcomed by two million people on the street and by tens of millions
online.   440 events unique to each community that she visits have been created
for her by thousands of artists and civil society and faith leaders.

Her journeys are festivals of art and hope that draw attention to the huge
numbers of children fleeing war, violence and persecution, each with their own
story. Her urgent message to the world is “Don’t forget about us”.  In May 2024
she will journey to Belfast, Newry, Mourne and Down and Dublin as part of
Belfast 2024.

“One of the most influential movements of our era” (The News Minute)

WHO IS LITTLE AMAL?

Little Amal has become an international symbol of compassion and of human
rights. She carries a message of hope for displaced people everywhere,
especially children who have been separated from their families.

The puppet of Little Amal was designed and built by Handspring Puppet Company,
who created the puppets for the international hit play War Horse, establishing
them as one of the most important puppet companies in the world.

Everywhere Amal goes she is greeted with events that are authentic and
meaningful to the local people she meets.


THE AMAL FUND

Half of all refugees are children. Half of all school age refugee children have
lost their opportunity of a formal education. Today tens of thousands who have
fled war and persecution are urgently in need of support.

To help these children, we’ve launched The Amal Fund with Choose Love.  Since
Amal has started walking, she has raised £770,000 ($965,000) to provide
urgently-needed support for refugee and displaced children all over the world.

Donate today HERE to help us provide education, food, shelter, emergency medical
care, legal assistance and much more for children like Little Amal.


HOPE. TOO BIG TO IGNORE. 

Throughout history the movement of people has fuelled human progress, enriched
culture and accelerated the acquisition of knowledge. Amal’s journey is a
celebration of migration and cultural diversity that tells the story of the
contributions made by refugees and immigrants. It represents the refugee story
as one of potential, success, respect, hospitality and kindness.

“It is more important than ever to reignite the conversation about the refugee
crisis and to change the narrative around it. Yes, refugees need food and
blankets, but they also need dignity and a voice. The purpose of The Walk is to
highlight the potential of the refugee, not just their dire circumstances.
Little Amal is 3.5 metres tall because we want the world to grow big enough to
greet her. We want her to inspire us to think big and to act bigger.”– Amir
