About Us
As People of Action, our help and personal response is always needed. We want our community to be better than how we found it.
We provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.
Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
Our Story
The history and journey of our Rotary club.
Where We Are
The Rotary Club of Gachie is in Nairobi, Kenya. We are 16kms due west of the Central Business District. The area comprises the neighbourhoods of Gachie, Ruaka, Kihara, Banana Hill, Ndumberi and Wangige areas to the west. Next to these villages are the affluent areas of Gigiri, Runda, RedHill and Muthaiga which house many diplomatic missions and residences, as well as the United Nations Environment Programme Headquarters.
Who We Are
The club was chartered on 16th May 2018 with 32 members and the club has managed to maintain this number. The membership is on average between the ages of 30 and 45, and is almost equal in numbers of male and female members. We meet every Monday evening at the Trade Mark Hotel within the Village Market in Gigiri.
What We Do
We continue to develop and implement activities in line with our Strategic Plan. We made a club decision to focus on Peace & Conflict Resolution, the Environment, Education and Basic Literacy, Health and Disease Prevention, and Water and Sanitation.
RC Gachie will continue on its path of offering voluntary financial and in-kind services to its community in answer to the ethos of Service Above Self. As People of Action, our help and personal response is always needed. We want our community to be better than how we found it.
