Games and sports play a vital role in fostering strong and focused minds—an essential foundation for academic success. These activities not only bring excitement and enjoyment but also promote discipline and well-being through structured, rule-based competitions. Active participation in sports enables students to develop both physical fitness and important social skills, contributing to their overall personal development.
IRDP offers excellent sports facilities and actively promotes student participation in various competitions, from interdepartmental to international levels, including the annual SHIMIVUTA games. In addition to sports, the Institute hosts key social events like Mr. and Miss Talent and the Fresher’s Party, enriching student life and fostering a strong sense of community.
The Institute is deeply committed to nurturing a culture of well-being in an inclusive environment that values and celebrates individual diversity. This commitment is reflected in the IRDP sports slogan, “Michezo ni Afya, Starehe, na Ajira”, which highlights the multifaceted benefits of sports—promoting health, providing enjoyment, and creating employment opportunities.
