Celebrating Success: Hope Against Malaria Project Achieves 101% Target

A reflection by Rotary International Director Elect, Emmanuel Katongole

“Africa is taking its rightful place in Rotary. We are growing, and we are growing to serve. This transformation cannot be achieved without Rotaract. Rotaract is first.”

These were the powerful words shared by Rotary International Director Elect, Emmanuel Katongole, as he joined hundreds of energetic young leaders at the Rotaract Africa Summit (RAS) 2025 in Cotonou, Benin.

District Governor Elect Daniel Damulira has set a bold and transformative direction for Rotary District 9214 (Uganda & Tanzania) as he prepares to lead in the Rotary Year 2026–2027. Speaking with humility, clarity, and passion, DGE Daniel unveiled his theme for the year: “Each One Engage for Impact.”
This theme is not merely a slogan—it is an invitation to every Rotarian to take personal responsibility in shaping vibrant, visible, and visionary clubs.

DGE Daniel emphasized that meaningful impact begins with individual engagement, reflected in his belief that Rotary excellence is achieved when every member plays an active role. His call is simple: “Each one must do something.” Whether bringing in one new member, hosting a home hospitality, contributing to The Rotary Foundation, or leading a small project, Daniel stresses that Rotary thrives when no one is idle.

His vision is grounded in five major pillars:

1. Strengthen Membership Through AERA

Daniel is committed to sustaining the district’s strong membership growth by reinforcing the AERA model—Attraction, Engagement, Retention, and Activation.
He calls on clubs to assign clear responsibilities to members, empower engagement champions, and ensure no person becomes a passive Rotarian. His approach recognizes that retention begins with belonging.

EACOP & Rotary Uganda Partner to Grow the Next Generation of Environmental Champions

The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP), in partnership with Rotary Uganda, has launched the Green Schools Initiative at St. Kizito Primary School, Kyotera District.

This flagship programme is designed to support schools along the EACOP route to become model centres of environmental stewardship, sustainability, and community empowerment.

The Rotary District 9214 Membership Team held a highly engaging Regional Membership Training in Masaka, bringing together club leaders, membership directors, and engagement champions from across the region.

The interactive session focused on practical ways to recruit, engage, and retain members — three pillars of Rotary’s growth and sustainability. Participants were split into three groups, each tasked with identifying challenges and proposing innovative strategies to strengthen membership within their respective clubs.

A Night of Colour, Celebration, and Commitment to Service Above Self

On 17 October 2025, Rotary District 9214, under the leadership of District Governor Christine Kyeyune Kawooya, gathered at the serene Kisubi Gardens to celebrate and review the first 100 days of the Rotary year.

Mbarara, 20 September 2025 — The Country Membership Team Uganda organized a capacity-building seminar for Club Presidents and Membership Chairs from Western Region clubs at CPP Rotary House, Mbarara. The training focused on practical strategies to attract, engage, and retain members.

In his opening, Country Chair Apollo applauded the Country Membership Team for spearheading the seminar and for their continuous effort in strengthening Rotary membership. He welcomed the full-house of Western Region clubs and urged leaders to take the lessons seriously, noting that:

“Membership is the key to the sustainability of Rotary in our District. When we invest in growth, we secure the future of our clubs.”

On Sunday, thousands of Ugandans and friends of Rotary from across the world gathered at the Independence Grounds in Kololo for the 2025 Rotary Cancer Run. What began as a vision more than a decade ago has grown into one of the largest gatherings of its kind in Rotary International.
