This was announced by Mr Charles Mugume, the Assistant District Rotaract Representative (ADRR), of Rotaract Club of Mbale Municipality.
The certificate signed by the President of Rotary International, Mark Daniel Maloney says the Rotaract Club of IUIU is now a member of Rotary International.
“Rotaract Club of IUIU, Islamic University In Uganda has been organised and has agreed, through its officers to be bound by the Rotaract Club Constitution and Bylaws and is now a duly admitted member of Rotary International,” reads part of statement on the certificate.
In its current establishment, this club now boasts of two sponsors: The Rotary Club of Mbale and The Rotary Club of Bweyogerere, Namboole, both of which are found in Uganda.
