He stressed the importance of partnerships, urging government, the private sector and civil society to join Rotary in implementing sustainable, community-driven projects.

The Rotary year, running through June 30, 2026, will feature monthly themes aligned with Rotary’s key service areas. These include Maternal and Child Health in July, Basic Education and Literacy in September, Disease Prevention and Treatment in December, and Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene in March 2026. Clubs plan to mobilize communities and partners monthly to address local and global challenges.

District 9213 has a history of impactful initiatives, including clean water projects, education programs and health services. This year’s signature campaigns include the Annual Cancer Run in August, the Run for the Nile for environmental preservation, and the Africa Peace Concert supporting the Rotary Peace Center at Makerere University. Ongoing efforts to end polio, empower youth and promote peace will also continue.

Rotary District 9213 will emphasize storytelling this year, aiming to highlight how unity and service transform lives. Communities can share experiences using hashtags #Unite4Good9213, #D9213RotaryCares and #RotaryEyamba.

Kitakule stated that Rotary’s core business is “humanity – transforming the lives of the less fortunate,” which includes providing water and sanitation, protecting the environment and ensuring maternal and child health. He encouraged people to join Rotary, participate in outreach or support causes through fundraising.

He cited several impactful initiatives in Uganda, including a blood bank and a dialysis center in Nkozi that has reduced treatment costs. Kitakule noted that Rotarians, through partners, have immunized over 3 million children against polio, emphasizing that “it only takes $1 to save a life.”

Uganda hosts the only Rotary Peace Center in Africa, located at Makerere University, which trains peacebuilders and leaders.

Rotary is a global network of business and professional persons totaling about 1.4 million members across 50,000 clubs in more than 200 countries. In Uganda, District 9213 comprises 137 clubs with over 5,349 Rotarians, and 134 Rotaract clubs with over 3,173 Rotaractors. Rotary clubs are non-political, inclusive and non-discriminatory. Their main objective is to provide service in the community, workplace and worldwide.

Notable past projects in Uganda include the Mwanamujimu project in Mulago, the Cancer Centre at Nsambya Hospital, the Dialysis Center and the Blood Bank at Mengo Hospital.
