The Rotaract Club of Gayaza is a Rotaract club in Rotary District 9213, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Gayaza. We meet every Sunday at 4:00 PM at Eriot Recreation Centre in Gayaza.

Our members are students and young professionals. Between fellowships we take on service projects close to home — keeping girls in school through the HER PAD project, free medical camps, community clean-ups and visits to children's homes — and we join the wider Rotary family for district events such as the Rotary Cancer Run.

We also invest in each other: professional development sessions, mentorship series with neighbouring "corridor" clubs, and speakers from across the district.
