It is one of six clubs of Rotary Club in Rwanda, the others being Musanze, Kigali Virunga, Kigali Doyen, Gasabo and Butare with 104 members.

Handika, the new president expressed gratitude for the trust members bestowed onto him.

“Our biggest project is to sponsor marginalized children to access education. We have been sponsoring the Rwanda Children Educational Foundation (RCEF) for three months, helping parents pay for their children’s education,” he said.

Handika thanked contribution from every member of the organization and expressed optimism that more achievements will undoubtedly be realized.

Handika will workz hand in hand with his deputy Aimé Kabandana, and the club’s secretary, Albert Mugunga.

Members of Rotary Club Kigali Mont Jali visit different schools every year where they donate various equipment and Mutuelle de Santé among other contributions.
