The rotary club of Jinja was chartered on 16th November 1964, being the 3rd Rotary Club in Uganda after Kampala Rotary Club which was chartered in 1957 and Rotary Club of Mbale which was chartered on 28th May 1964. The charter president was late Sylvester Wanje for the Rotary years 1964/65 and 1965/66. The club was mainly dominated by Indians until 1971 when they were expelled from Uganda by late President Iddi Amin. This affected the Club membership it was far then worsened when Rotary in Uganda was considered to be an agent of the colonialists by president Iddi-Amin. Rotarian Wanje was greatly involved in keeping the club running during those bad years of the 1970 that he was again voted as Rotarian President from Rotary year 1972/73 up to 1975/76. Membership was as low as 7 members and yet at that time a club was to have a minimum of 25 members. So Rotary International exempted the club from the minimum membership of 25 and payment of Rotary international dues.
The Rotary Club of Jinja has supported Balitwegomba School for the Visually Impaired for 30 years, covering school fees, welfare, reading materials like Braille machines, and essential needs such as food and accommodation. We are now constructing the Balitwegomba Complex to provide sustainable financial support to the school. We invite the public to join us on this impactful journey to continue empowering these students and ensuring their future.
Whatever small that your heart offers, shall always make a difference. We call upon the general public to come and join hands with us as we impact the future of these visually imapaired kids
