On 6th December 2025, Rotarians, families, and revellers gathered at the Las Vegas Hotel in Bunga for the 4th Edition of the Rotary Family Carnival.
This vibrant annual fundraiser aims to mobilize resources towards the eradication of malaria, a critical health challenge in Uganda.
The colourful event, graced by District Governors Christine Kyeyune Kawooya (D9214) and Geofrey Kitakule(D9213), featured captivating performances by prominent musicians, acrobats and a variety of family entertainment. It also provided a valuable platform for malaria screening, vaccination, and treatment.
DG Christine commended the efforts of Rotarians and partner organizations underscoring the vital role of collaboration in tackling community health challenges within Rotary’s focus on disease prevention.
Past District Governor Kenneth Wycliff Mugisha, who also serves as Board Chairman of Malaria-Free Uganda, reiterated Rotary’s commitment to eliminating malaria. “Our goal is a malaria-free Uganda by 2030. The Rotary Family Carnival is not only a fun affair, but is a crucial initiative for mobilizing the resources needed to make that vision a reality,” Mugisha stressed.
Since its inception, the Rotary Family Carnival has raised over 1.4 billion Ugandan shillings. These funds have been instrumental in equipping the Mengo and Nakasero Blood Banks, significantly enhancing their capacity, and improving the availability of blood for public health needs.
The event also welcomed Rotarians from District 9212, led by Past District Governor Alex Nyaga, further strengthening the spirit of unity and partnership across districts.
