We bought sewing machines, plumber equipment for vocational schools, fed vulnerable students and paying their school fees among others,\u201d said Rugera. <\/p>\n<p>In 2018, the club in collaboration with Kigali Virunga and Gasabo clubs planted 6000 trees in line with environmental preservation efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Rugera said more efforts are needed to increase the number of Rotary Clubs\u2019 members. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the past 20 years, the value of our activities is over Rwf 1 billion. We spend almost Rwf 50 million during activities held every year depending on funded projects.  There is the need of youth engagement to sustain such projects,\u201d she noted. <\/p>\n<p>Members of Rotary Club Kigali Mont Jali visit different schools every year where they donate various equipment and Mutuelle de Sant\u00e9 among other contributions.

All clubs in Rwanda are unique because they not only donate but also take heed on sustainability,\u201d she said.  <\/p>\n<p>Rotary International, the mother of rotary clubs was established by   Paul Percy Harris on 23rd February 1905. It has over 1.2 million members grouped into 35, 000 clubs in over 220 countries and districts.<\/p>\n<p>Rotary Club in Rwanda comprises of six clubs including Musanze, Kigali Mont Jali, Kigali Virunga, Kigali Doyen, Gasabo and Butare with 104 members.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-30514 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/h19a4853-9d7ff.jpg\" alt=\"Rotary Club Kigali Mont Jali has celebrated 20 years since it launched humanitarian assistance programs to promote Rwandans&#039;
