MY VISION FOR ROTARYIN AFRICA by 2020
DISTRICT 9212Teshome Kebede
DGN
Rotary is recognized in Africa as the top humanitarian organization
with the largest number of volunteer members providing most trusted and extensive
services to communities across the continent
VISION
DRAMATIC INCREASE IN MEMBERSHIP
My vision implies:
Maintaining existing members + providing worthy services to
communities
=
Stronger and effective clubs
1.2 Million Rotarians have done what Rotary is all about now.
Every increase in this number is more strength to Rotary and more
service to humanity.Africa lags behind the rest of the
world in everything in this respect.
Rationale
Increasing membership must take contextual dimensions:
The regular percentage increase = EvolutionaryStepped up increase = Revolutionary steps
Country Population Clubs DimensionKenya 40,300,000 50 Evolutionary = 10% +Eritrea 5,300,000 1 (?) ?Ethiopia 90,000,000 12 (9) RevolutionarySouth Sudan 8,260,000 1 Revolutionary
CONSIDERATIONS
Revolutionary Goals A Rotary Club in every major town every year:
A project in every major town every year A Rotaract club formed by every Rotary club every
year: Demonstrate how Rotaractors support Rotary Clubs
An Interact club formed by every Rotaract club every year: Promote the youth fellowship provided
An active RCC formed in every community with a Rotary service project:
More service projects for communities = recognition and respect for RCC members
STRATEGYPublicize Rotary

organization to be part of.
