GIVE JOY
The UEFA Foundation for Children supports iACT as we provide food, employment, preschools, and youth soccer academies for refugees, led by refugees.
OUR PARTNERSHIP
We work hand-in-hand with refugees to provide food, create jobs, build preschools and establish youth soccer academies in camps around the world. It’s for refugees, led by refugees.
UEFA Foundation for Children have awarded funding to cover 47% of this latest expansion. We have secured another $25,000 from the Leonard & Robert Weintraub Family Foundation. We need support from people like you to secure the remaining amount to fully fund this expansion.
Only with the help of generous supporters like you, alongside the UEFA Foundation for Children, will we be able to support 8,810 refugee boys and girls in this project.

Little Ripples supports refugee women as they implement child-centered, quality, and comprehensive early childhood education for refugee children ages 3-5. This project will support 4 new in-home centers, called Little Ripples Ponds, and provide 45,000 meals.
