TAFIKA has been working with sports since 1999. We strongly believe that sport offers young girls, boys, men and women the chance to work together and be part of a successful team.
There are many benefits of sport including:
​
Teaching about teamwork
Keeping young minds occupied
Physical health
Skills development
​
At TAFIKA we have developed a Sports Academy, this Academy draws from the many local teams we support and gives students (14-20+) the opportunity to progress from a local to a regional team. This in turn creates a feeling of success and local pride in players and the regional TAFIKA team.

Our players often play barefoot without a proper team strip. We need sports equipment, like training shoes for our netball teams, or football boots for our football teams.
​
​
​
In 2023 we started a program with Strips4Malawi to find new partners for our teams with an aim of bringing a steady supply of quality sports equipment into Malawi giving our players the things they need to play their very best game.
​
We want to thank the many organisations like Smalls for All who have donated sports bras for our Netball Teams and the many Scottish based athletics clubs who have donated pre-loved sports shoes so our players don't have to play barefoot. Also, a huge thank you to Kinross Colts for their enthusiasm and donations of football boots. You guys are making our teams dreams come true.
