Mission:
iACT seeks to aid, empower, and provide hope to those affected by mass atrocities. We encourage individuals within communities, institutions, and governments to take personal responsibility to act on behalf of those affected by genocide, mass atrocities, and crimes against humanity.

iACT is a global team dedicated to putting a face on the numbers of dead, dying, and displaced while creating mutually enriching relationships between those in danger and those willing and able to act, fostering a new culture of participation.

Target demographics: Refugees and those affected by mass atrocities.
