The 100th District Conference and Assembly (DCA) will be held in Mombasa, Kenya, from the 15th to the 18th of May 2025, at the Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort and Spa. Making the announcement at the recently concluded 99th District Conference Assembly (DCA) in Watamu, DCA Chair Elect Violet Kairu announced the venue as the most suitable to celebrate Rotary District 9212’s 100 years of Service in Africa.
Mombasa, with its rich history dating back to 900 A.D., holds a special place in Africa’s narrative, particularly as a vibrant trading center for centuries. Known affectionately as “the white and blue city,” Mombasa’s allure lies not only in its breathtaking beaches but also in its cultural richness and diversity. “Delegates can look forward to immersing themselves in a myriad of activities, from exhilarating coral reef diving to indulging in the city’s delectable cuisine.” Kairu said.
The significance of the 100th DCA extends far beyond its venue. According to Rotary District 9212 Governor elect Joe Kamau, this assembly marks a cornerstone in Rotary’s calendar, especially as it coincides with the commemoration of 100 years of Rotary in Africa. “It is a time for reflection, celebration, and renewed dedication to the principles of service above self”, Kamau reiterated.
Reflecting on this momentous occasion, District Rotaract Representative (DRR) elect Hiwot Nekatibeb emphasized the unique blend of honoring past achievements while innovating for future challenges. While encouraging delegates to register for the event, Nekatibeb siad that the 100th DCA will present an opportunity for Rotarians and Rotaractors to come together, share stories of impact, and collectively make Centenary Magic happen.
