Sport & Recreation
Strength in Body, Unity in Spirit
In Dzaleka sport is vital for both physical and mental health. Our sports programs foster teamwork, discipline, and joy. We create opportunities for everyone—from kids to adults, from casual joggers to serious athletes—to come together, get active, and build camaraderie.
Fitness for All
Energetic Aerobic Dance and Gym Tonic fitness classes.
Saturday Running Club
A weekly 7km community run from Dzaleka camp to Mbalame village.
Annual Events
Global Run for Freedom
A worldwide event run in partnership with Yoga and Sport with Refugees.
Dzaleka 5K Run/Walk:
Our own signature event since 2022! It features games for all (arm wrestling, eating comps, kids’ games, competitions for people with disabilities) and provides a nutritious meal to over 500 participants. This event also helps support refugees to participate in external races, like the BeMore Race in Lilongwe.
Team Sports
Active football and basketball teams for both kids and adults.
Future Plans
We are currently working to design a community gym center for bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts.
