The Darfur genocide began in 2003, killing an estimated 400,000 individuals and displacing more than 3 million. For the last 20 years, more than 390,000 Darfuri refugees have been living in 12 camps in eastern Chad with limited access to critical services. As a result of the current conflict, more than 786,000 new refugees have crossed the border from Sudan, leading to the opening of two more refugee camps in eastern Chad. Building on the need for programs in Chad that address trauma and promote education, health, peacebuilding, and social integration, iACT launched Little Ripples in Chad in 2013. iACT worked directly with Darfuri refugee communities there to develop the Little Ripples program and the Refugees United Soccer Academy, and continues to work directly with these same communities to implement these programs. iACT works in collaboration with its partner the Jesuit Refugee Service in Chad, and is working to expand to meet today's growing needs.
