Kin Kariisa, Group CEO of Next Media Uganda, has officially taken over as President of the Rotary Club of Kigo Seven Lakes Golf. His leadership marks the beginning of the club’s third year since it was chartered and ushers in a new era of vision, energy, and impact under a man widely known for action and results.
While the formal installation ceremony is set for July 25, Kin was handed the presidency during a handover event. In his remarks, he emphasized that his commitment to Rotary isn’t new; he’s been actively engaged in service even before formally becoming a Rotarian. “I take on this role not because I must, but because I love to serve humanity,” he shared. Known for his results-driven approach, Kin has pledged to deliver at least one meaningful, high-impact project every year and to inspire fellow Rotarians to collectively aim higher in service to the community.
“This won’t be a one-man race,” he said. “We shall lead together. Keep each other in check. When I’m too fast, I’ve asked them to slow me down. Too slow? To push me forward.”
Though the Rotary Club of Kigo Seven Lakes Golf was only chartered in May 2023, it has quickly established itself as one of the most vibrant clubs in the region. With a track record of impactful service projects, from rebuilding the Kigo Prison Primary School to maternal health initiatives in Rubare and empowering fishing communities along Lake Victoria, the club has demonstrated what focused and well-led Rotary service can achieve.
It has also emerged as a major donor to The Rotary Foundation, contributing nearly $200,000 in just two years and producing over 20 Paul Harris Fellows and 13 Major Donors.
Under Kin’s leadership, the club is expected to deepen its footprint through both legacy projects and innovative new programs.
