Kampala, Uganda | 30 August 2026
 
The Uganda Rotary Cancer Programme has set a UGX 10 billion fundraising target for the 2027 Rotary Cancer Run, which will focus on completing and equipping the Cancer Treatment Centre at St. Francis Hospital, Nsambya.
The target was announced by Incoming Rotary Cancer Run 2027 Chairperson, Rtn Samuel Ngabwaki, during the 15th Rotary Cancer Run at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds on Sunday.
 
The announcement follows a major milestone achieved through CR15, where the programme raised UGX 5.62 billion against a UGX 5 billion target, bringing the total funding for the UGX 15 billion superstructure of the Nsambya Cancer Treatment Centre fully within reach.
 
 
 
The 15th edition of the Rotary Cancer Run has raised UGX 5.62 billion, surpassing its UGX 5 billion fundraising target and bringing the Rotary Cancer Programme significantly closer to completing the superstructure of the Cancer Treatment Centre at St. Francis Hospital, Nsambya.
The achievement, announced today at the main Cancer Run event at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds, means that the UGX 15 billion target for the superstructure of the Nsambya Cancer Treatment Centre is now fully covered, marking a major milestone in Rotary’s long-term effort to expand access to cancer treatment in Uganda.
The 2026 Cancer Run, held under the theme “Ggwanga Mujje”, brought together thousands of Ugandans in Kampala, across the country and towns around the world, alongside government leaders, corporate partners, Rotarians, Rotaractors, health workers, families and cancer advocates. The campaign had targeted to mobilize 100,000 participants and raise UGX 5 billion towards the completion and equipping of the facility.
 
 
GROWING OUR FAMILY, EDUCATING OUR FUTURE
 
My dear Rotarians, Rotaractors and Friends,

The Rotary year moves swiftly. July and August are now well behind us. Although we still have ten months to go, the speed at which the first two months have flown by is a reminder of how short a year is. This calls upon us to make every day count if we are to realise our goals. Whether it is giving to The Rotary Foundation, implementing a community service project, or growing our membership, let us not miss any opportunity. Being intentional is key.

August and September offer us two powerful opportunities to reflect on who we are and why we exist.

 
 
August reminded us that Rotary is first and foremost about people. Reflecting on our theme, _“Create Lasting Impact,”_ it is clear that to create impact, we must first grow. It was delightful to see many clubs grow their numbers and, more importantly, actively engage their members. A happy membership creates a feed-forward effect — positive energy that makes a club attractive not only to prospective members but also to partners.

I personally welcome all who have joined our Rotary family since the start of this Rotary year. To those who invited and mentored guests, congratulations. To the clubs that have grown, please make it a habit. To those yet to grow, increasing our numbers is the right thing to do.

Every member is a possibility to Create Lasting Impact
 
It is unbelievable how fast time flies. July is well and truly behind us.

Thank you, my Rotary friends, for the great work done so far.

My visits to clubs have enabled me to interact and engage with members first hand. In those meetings I have learnt more deeply about our clubs: the culture, the strengths, the challenges, and most importantly, the determination to change lives.
In all of this, membership has been at the heart of everything.

 
Therefore, August being Membership and New Club Development Month in Rotary is perfect timing. It gives us an opportunity for deeper reflection. But to be honest, membership is not a month.

Membership is the reason Rotary is relevant in January through to December, year after year.

Ride the Tide 🌊 | So Much Done, So Much More to Do

The September 2026 edition of The Wave, the official publication of Rotary District 9213, is here!
This edition celebrates the remarkable impact of Rotary across our communities from the milestone achievement of the 2026 Rotary Cancer Run, to advancing Basic Education and Literacy, strengthening BELEP, supporting early childhood development, youth skilling, health, and much more.
As we celebrate how far we have come, we are reminded that our work does not end with every milestone achieved. There are still communities to reach, lives to transform, and dreams to pursue.
We have done so much. There is still so much more to do.
