"We had heard about a woman running a preschool program under the shade of a tree, and we were grateful to meet her and see the space in person." - Sara-Christine Dallain, @iact.ngo #Chad #Refugees #Sudan #RefugeeLed #CommunityLed www.iact.ngo/post/photo-e...

Alarming news from latest UN Women report: Half of women’s organizations helping women and girls in humanitarian crisis zones may shut down in 6 months due to the drastic global aid cuts. If these organizations vanish, so will vital lifelines for millions of vulnerable women & girls.

This year, @iact.ngo launched a community-led media project. AMPLIFi is not just about telling stories, it’s about shifting power, reclaiming narrative, and amplifying voices that the world needs to hear. We need your help to sustain this important work. www.iact.ngo/amplifi

iACT is keeping an eye on this legislation and the danger it poses to nonprofits across the country. www.philanthropy.com/article/hous...

Appreciate @patrickfreyne.bsky.social's continued coverage of refugee communities living in Chad, displaced from the war in Sudan. Their stories are important, and they deserve to be heard.

"A full 75% of the human rights funding we track to groups in Latin America and the Caribbean, 72% in sub-Saharan Africa, and 67% in Asia and the Pacific could be cut off if this executive order succeeds in blocking foreign funding from U.S. foundations." www.devex.com/news/opinion...

Four stories posted and growing! The AMPLIFi team is just getting started. Can't wait for them to grow and expand, and I'm so excited for them to be able to bring you stories from their communities. #Chad #Sudan #Refugees #Media #Storytelling #CommunityLed #RefugeeLed www.iact.ngo/amplifi

“We cannot forget that the people most in need of our foreign assistance are the ones who will be MOST impacted by this pause. We can surely review our foreign aid practices without stopping them and endangering lives. This decision is just cruel and unnecessary.” - Sara-Christine Dallain, iACT ED

"The foreign assistance review mandated by the President should proceed without disrupting existing programs, especially those programs millions need to survive." www.iact.ngo/post/interac...

Great article from @theathletic.bsky.social, highlighting the power of soccer even in the darkest of times. iACT's founder believed, "When the ball starts rolling, refugees are no longer refugees. They are not victims or survivors. They are players.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/546...

"iACT never 'travels light' on a trip to Chad...in September our duffles included 84 Adidas soccer balls, 4 ball bags, 10 rubber balls, 4 ball pumps, 8 new iACT shirts, 100 pens, 1 first aid kit, dozens of scarves, hundreds of printed documents..." #ECE #Soccer #NGO www.iact.ngo/post/iact40-...

iACT's Little Ripples is the longest-standing preschool program in eastern Chad, serving more than 1,800 children ages 3-5 across eight refugee camps. Donate this holiday season, so iACT can continue to offer a nutritious daily meal to every child & teacher. secure.everyaction.com/x2crgqFJZ0-x...
