From October 9-12, the International Judo Federation was present in the Maheba refugee settlement in northwestern Zambia to review the Judo for Peace programme launched in November 2016. The Maheba camp welcomes nearly 20,000 refugees from nine African countries. A joint initiative of the IJF and the Zambian Judo Association (ZJA), the project aims to offer children, who represent almost half of the population, and young adults, a fun and educational activity that is essential while many of them have experienced very difficult personal situations.
