Welcome to the Uganda Rotary Cancer Program

The Uganda Rotary Cancer Program is on a mission to transform cancer care in Uganda. Founded in 2011, our goal is to provide life-saving early detection, specialized treatment, and ongoing support to those affected by cancer.

Thanks to our partnerships with St. Francis’ Hospital Nsambya, Centenary Bank, and others, we opened a state-of-the-art cancer ward in 2015. The Rotary Cancer Run, launched in 2012, has become a powerful force for awareness and funding.

But we’re not stopping here. We aim to build a fully specialized cancer treatment centre to offer world-class care to all Ugandans.

VISION : To have a country free of the burden of cancer.

Our Background

About Us

In 2010, inspired by the leadership of District Governor Stephen Mwanje, Rotarians in Uganda set out to turn an ambitious dream into a life-saving reality. The goal? To create a dedicated cancer ward that would provide specialist treatment, early detection, and compassionate care for patients battling cancer. The vision was clear: build a Centre of Excellence that could save lives, reduce suffering, and bring hope to thousands who had been facing cancer without access to the vital care they needed.
