Amy's Story
In 2014 Amy picked up a magazine while waiting for her doctor’s appointment. She stumbled across a photograph which would change her life and impact the lives of thousands of others.
Amy saw an image of Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus with 18,000 people queuing for bread. In the foreground was a woman and Amy imagined herself there with her children and wondered how on earth she would cope. Her thoughts ranged from sheer terror at the size of the crowd, to how she would look after her children and finally to how women cope with their periods in conflict zones?
Amy takes you on her journey of discovery, learning about worlds that she knew nothing about at the beginning and introduces you to the people who have helped her on her way and who have taught her so much. She talks about love, fear, courage, resilience and so much more as she continues to empower women all over the world.
Be the change, be inspired
"...but I'm only one person..." - said a million people...

Anthea Turner
Television Personality
'I Don’t Know How She Does It’ is the title of a film and one day they will be making a film about Amy Peake, because I really don’t know how she does it. Amy leads, inspires, loves and protects, she’s a weapon and if you support her you are joining a movement to make a difference to the lives of ordinary people who through no fault of their own have been caught up in the wretchedness of conflict and poverty.
Mrs Amy Colquhoun
Head of Sixth Form (Academic) and Theology Teacher
Amy’s enthusiasm for the work that Loving Humanity does is infectious and students are captivated by her stories of her work– most vividly in the slums of Nairobi and with refugees in Jordan. Students can learn from Amy’s determination not to give up on her dream, even when seemingly insurmountable problems come her way. She is a brilliant example of the power one person has to make a positive change in the world. Amy leaves the students questioning what they can do to make a difference. Her joyful, clear, and utterly charming way of speaking to young people makes a visit by Amy an uplifting experience for all.
