Our Senior Manager for Global Programs and Partnerships, Sedrick Murhula, was there to share how iACT approaches community-led humanitarian action, the process, the barriers, and the “why.”

iACT integrates mindfulness exercises into each of our programs. Mindfulness helps individuals learn how to cope with stress, strengthen self-regulation skills, and build resilience. A key aspect of our Little Ripples curriculum is the introduction of mindfulness,

"I will keep working for justice and peace. But, I need help, because I‘m not sure we “survivors” in the camps can make it for another 20 years. I am calling the international community to stand up and stop these human-made atrocities." –Al-Fateh "Oumda" Haroun, eastern Chad

"Peace comes from being able to contribute the best that we have, and all that we are, toward creating a world that supports everyone. But it is also securing the space for others to contribute the best that they have and all that they are." —Hafsat Abiola This sentiment is exactly why, at iACT,

Gabriel Stauring (iACT's co-founder)'s first trips to Chad were all about listening and forming friendships. Over time, this evolved into our current model of humanitarian action, which involves listening, training, co-creating, shifting ownership, community-led scaling, and ongoing support.

iACT is going to Las Vegas! (1/2) #SpeakOutOnSudan

more than 20 years ago, iACT's founder started visiting refugee camps in eastern Chad, where Sudanese people who had fled genocide in Darfur were living. The group committing genocide over the last 23+ years is now being provided with weapons and finances by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), in the current war in Sudan.

Since April 2023, this war has displaced 12.5 million people. 900,000 of them are now refugees in Chad, adding to the nearly 400,000 Sudanese refugees already living there prior to April 2023. Over 1.5 million people have fled to Egypt. Over 8.5 million are displaced within Sudan.

The UAE is now sponsoring the Emirates NBA Cup, which is now in Quarterfinal stage of the tournament. Along with other organizations, groups, and individuals, iACT will be at the championship game on December 16, in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
