Roots, people, service, legacy.
From a group meeting in Gayaza in mid-2021 to a chartered club in Rotary District 9213 with a family of youth clubs of its own.
Chapter one
Where we started
In mid-2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, a group in Gayaza started meeting formally as a Rotary club in formation. Two neighbouring clubs supported them: the Rotary Club of Kasangati and the Rotary Club of Kisaasi-Kyanja. Within months, the group was out in Mundazabazzadde and Nakwero A supporting affected households. On 16 December 2021 the club received its charter.

Chapter two
How we grew
A chartered club installs officers, joins district life and builds a habit of service. Gayaza did all three. It also did something many young clubs wait years to attempt: it helped young people start clubs of their own.
