“The majority of people in refugee camps have many stories, but they lack a way to tell stories, and tools. We hope for more of these ideas and to shed light on society.”

ABOUT AMPLIFi

AMPLIFi is a co-created media project of iACT, asking the question:

What if conflict-affected communities were resourced to collect and share their own stories with the world? 

Together with partners and local actors, we are building out a curriculum that will enable those living in hard-to-reach communities to tell their stories in powerful ways. A main objective of AMPLIFi is to train and resource individuals with the knowledge and equipment needed — from cell phones, to tripods, to microphones — to record and share their stories so that the world can hear their voices.

CHAD

In Chad, right now the community is dealing with the arrival of more than 730,000 new refugees as a result of the war in Sudan. Local community members are taking on the AMPLIFi project, with their storytelling revolving around bringing attention to the violence in Sudan, the experiences of refugees most recently displaced, and the stories of those who have lived in the refugee camps for more than 20 years.

CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC

In Bangui, Central African Republic, iACT’s soccer coaches want to focus on telling the story of the barriers girls and women face in playing soccer. The coaches — two men and two women — have struggled to consistently bring girls into the program, with the community not seeing soccer as a girl’s sport. They will document their journey as they work to increase girls’ participation in soccer and change the minds and hearts of people around them.

OUR PARTNERS & SPONSORS

AMPLIFi is made possible by donors and partners who facilitate resources and trainings for our team members.
