The goal is to reduce reliance on firewood for cooking, thereby protecting the environment and improving air quality.<\/p>\n<p>Rotary Club Kigali-Doyen also plans to collaborate with partners to purchase a medical device for the early detection of breast cancer. Early diagnosis significantly improves recovery rates, with up to 80% of cases successfully treated when identified in time.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1965, Rotary Club Kigali-Doyen is the oldest of Rwanda\u2019s 12 Rotary Clubs and is preparing to celebrate its 60th anniversary of service to the community.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-90744 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/rotary_club_new.jpg\" alt=\"A diverse group of members from Rotary Club Kigali-Doyen gathered to witness the installation of Dr. Alexis Muderevu as the club\u2019s new president.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-90741 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/rotary_club_new_new.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Alexis Muderevu was installed as the president of Rotary Club Kigali-Doyen on Thursday, July 10.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-90745 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/rotary_club_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-90743 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/rotary_club_3.jpg\" alt=\"The outgoing president of Rotary Club Kigali-Doyen, Ida Alexandra de Cordier, expressed pride in the club\u2019s achievements over the past year, highlighting various initiatives aimed at improving community well-being.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-90742 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/054a0581-enhanced-nr054a0581-enhanced-nr-6d026.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-90738 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/054a0636-enhanced-nr054a0636-enhanced-nr-63658.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-90737 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/054a0683-enhanced-nr054a0683-enhanced-nr-d55ce.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-90736 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/kigali_rotary_club_new.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-90734 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/perezida_wa_rotary_club_kigali-doyen_dr__muderevu_alexis_yashimye_umugore_we_wamubaye_hafi_muri_iyo_club-94057.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Alexis Muderevu, president of Rotary Club Kigali-Doyen, expressed his gratitude to his wife for her daily support in fulfilling his various responsibilities.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-90735 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/perezida_wa_rotary_club_kigali-doyen_dr__muderevu_alexis_yavuze_ko_kimwe_mu_byo_azibandaho_harimo_kongera_abanyamuryango_kugira_ngo_n_ibikorwa_byiyongere-f2a72.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Alexis Muderevu has been installed as the President of Rotary Club Kigali-Doyen for a one-year term, pledging to strengthen the club\u2019s development-focused initiatives.
