Rotary District 9212 convened a huddle of its partners to review past engagements and chart a new path for more effective cooperation.
The gathering included representatives from the Manu Chandaria Foundation, Zimele Assets Management, EABL Foundation, Tegla Lourupe Peace Foundation, KEPSA Foundation, Davis & Shirtliff, HACO Industries and Mama Doing Good, an initiative by Kenya’s First Lady.
From Rotary’s seven areas of focus -- Disease Prevention and Treatment, Water and Sanitation, Maternal and Child Health, Basic Education and Literacy, Economic and Community Development, Peace and Conflict Prevention / Resolution, Environmental Conservation -- the partners in attendance identified those that align with the objectives of their organizations in readiness for future collaboration.
``I really value the new friends that we've made today. Our partners, we want to stop approaching you as clubs asking for 100,000 shillings or 500,000, shillings for a golf tournament and so on,’’ District Governor Wairimu Njage said. `We want to approach you collectively as a District and either refresh our MoUs or sign new ones in an agreed, structured manner.’’
District Governor Elect for District 9215 in-formation Saad Rahman and Governor Nominee James Mwangi were in attendance as part of plans to continue the partnerships in future. Representatives of District 9212 included Past District Governors Leonard Ithau and Patrick Obath, District Secretary Rosemary Wainaina, District Partnerships and Resource Mobilization Chair Kasanga Mutheu, Monica Mwangi from the Service Projects Committee, Rotaract Executive Committee Chair Emmanuel Kinyua and Rotaract Diversity Equity and Inclusion Chair Ruthie Mwathi.
``I'd like us to leave here with an understanding that we can knock on your door, the door will open, we can come back collectively in a workshop or similar framework and really now get work done around our different areas of opportunity,’’ the District Governor said.
