Project Overview

In collaboration with Jesuit Refugee Services and a group of young basketball players from the camp (the “Dream Team”), CorpsAfrica volunteer Amadou Alpha Ba, secured support from the NBA to build a new basketball court for youth at the Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Malawi. The court now serves as a space for ongoing sports programs promoting dignity, social inclusion, and overall well-being for youth in this protracted refugee situation.

Alpha Ba is a CorpsAfrica Exchange Volunteer from Senegal. He has been serving at the Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Malawi since 2017.
