This giving season we are coming to you with some amazing opportunities to directly support iACT programs in need of funding. Below you will find descriptions of the two campaigns — one focused on iACT's Little Ripples preschool program and one on our Refugees United Soccer Academy. If you’re like us, these programs hold a special place in your heart. So, we hope you’ll take this opportunity to help us sustain and grow them!
We are also sharing a general donation link. If you would prefer to give to our overall end of year fund, which will enable us to pay coach and teacher salaries, buy equipment, etc. that would be incredibly impactful as well.
Thank you for being such an amazingly supportive community. You make this work possible.
SUPPORT OUR PRESCHOOL MEAL PROGRAM
Today, more than 1,800 children between the ages of 3 and 5 attend a Little Ripples preschool in eastern Chad. Parents in the community consistently tell us one of the most important aspects of the program is the daily meal provided for their children. In a time when many families struggle to provide even two meals a day for their children, this program is a sense of relief and stability.
Since the war began in Sudan in 2023, more than 910,000 people have crossed over the border into Chad — 88% were women and children. This makes a program like Little Ripples, which offers both early childhood education and a daily nutritious meal, ever more important.

SUPPORT SOCCER IN THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC
This year, our amazing team of coaches in the Central African Republic launched an all-girls soccer camp with the aim of bringing more girls into their RUSA program. This had been a struggle for the program in recent years. Their camp was a huge success, with enrollment exceeding expectations!
We want to make sure they can keep that ball rolling with the funding and support needed to encourage both girls and boys to participate in the Refugees United Soccer Academy.
