kicks and hope tournament: stand with darfur united

With April 6 being the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, April is also Genocide Awareness and Prevention Month. This year’s national theme is ‘Moving Beyond Witness.’ i-Activism are using these two incredible opportunities to help move communities beyond bearing witness to genocide and mass atrocities to taking action through a 4 vs 4 Darfur United Soccer Tournament and Action Fair.

The aim is for STAND chapters, soccer teams, and communities around the world will organize a one-day 4 vs 4 tournament, provide education and action opportunities for participants and fans to end genocide, and raise funds to provide joy, hope, and trauma recovery to Darfuri refugee children living in isolated camps in eastern Chad and support peacebuilding initiatives in the Central African Republic.
