Vision statement

Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.

What do we do?

Through our weekly gatherings, members collaborate on projects and programs designed to address the specific needs of the less privileged, such as immunisation of children against polio in the surrounding communities of Wamala and Kinyarwanda; planting trees under our mission green agenda;  infrastructure improvement on our signature projects to boost education and literacy; mental health campaigns by increasing awareness of the challenges associated with mental illness etc.

By dedicating time and resources to these endeavors, the club exemplifies the spirit of volunteerism and compassion, inspiring others to join in their efforts to create a more inclusive and supportive community for all.

The consistent meetings serve as a platform for members to brainstorm ideas, coordinate activities, and reflect on the impact of their collective actions.

RC AKRIGHT's mission to serve the less privileged through their Premier Club status and weekly meetings underscores our strong commitment to social responsibility and philanthropy. Our dedication to making a difference in the lives of those in need sets a positive example for others and fosters a sense of community and camaraderie among club members.

By coming together on a regular basis, we demonstrate the power of collective action and the transformative impact it can have on individuals and society as a whole.

We join the global network of about 1.4million Rotarians who believe that we have a shared responsibility to take action on the world’s most persistent issues in order to fulfill the following core Rotary International areas of focus:

  • Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention
  • Basic Education and Literacy
  • Disease Prevention and treatment
