Leadership with Purpose.
Impact that Lasts.

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Kigali Karisimbi, a community of professionals, business leaders and changemakers united by one purpose: to create meaningful, sustainable impact in Rwanda and beyond. Established in 2022 and part of Rotary District 9150, the club has grown quickly through fellowship, service and partnership. In the 2025–26 Rotary year, our membership doubled, we adopted our first five-year strategic plan, and we were one of three clubs in Rwanda to receive a Rotary District Grant.
