CONFLICT BACKGROUND
In April 2015, political violence and insecurity forced over 400,000 Burundians to flee to neighboring countries. Currently, 127,333 Burundian refugees are residing in three refugee camps in the Kigoma region of Tanzania. Many young Burundian refugee children are out of school and in need of quality early childhood care and development support. In partnership with Plan International Tanzania, iACT launched the Little Ripples program in the Nduta and Mtendeli refugee camps in western Tanzania to support these children and ensure they can exercise their right to education and healthy development.

Adeline
Adeline lives in Nduta refugee camp with her husband and four children. She is an early childhood development teacher with Plan International Tanzania and participated in Little Ripples Teacher Training. “From the Little Ripples training, I was happy to get information on how to teach and take care of young children. Before I was working in primary school. Now I know the skills for young children and how to teach with peace and through playing.”
