SUPPORT COMMUNITY-LED STORYTELLING
The communities iACT partners with have consistently told us there are real barriers to storytelling. However, what team members do not lack is a desire to be heard and to determine the narrative and stories being shared about their lives and their communities.
In response, iACT created AMPLIFi, a media initiative designed with and for communities impacted by conflict. At its core, AMPLIFi seeks to break through the main barriers that prevent storytelling from reaching the global stage: Connectivity, Resources, and Training.
CURRENT PROGRAM NEEDS:
- A Solar-powered charger to charge equipment ($350)
- Translation funds (ongoing, enables iACT to subtitle interviews in English)
- Storyteller Stipends (each Storyteller is paid a monthly stipend for their work)
- Funding for more trainings on digital storytelling
