We are raising funds for two impactful projects.
In Uganda, we support Nyakijumba Primary School in Kabale, a multi-year initiative improving education, water, sanitation and energy for over 300 children.
Our dearest Admiral has been to the school himself last year, and still speaks with the principal every few weeks, this one is personal.

In Kenya, we support a community health facility and wider community in Kisumu through a project delivering clean water and reliable solar energy, including a solar-powered borehole, water access points and electricity for essential healthcare services. (More information coming in other post)

The Educate & Empower Nyakijumba Project is a multi-year, Rotaract-led initiative transforming a rural primary school in Nyakijumba, Kabale District (Uganda) into a center for education, opportunity, and sustainable community development. This project has been in active development since 2024, driven by Rotaractors and shaped …
A few weeks ago, we teamed up with Rotaract The Hague International for a pub quiz at O’Casey’s Irish Pub in The Hague. What started as a simple idea turned into a really nice evening where everything just came together: good people, a good cause, …
At the end of January, Rotaractors from across Europe gathered in the Netherlands for the Rotaract European Meeting (REM) 2026, hosted this year in the historic city of Utrecht.
REM is one of the most anticipated gatherings in the Rotaract calendar. Each year, young professionals and students from dozens of countries come together to exchange ideas, strengthen friendships, and celebrate the spirit of service that connects Rotaractors across Europe.
The Utrecht edition offered participants a dynamic program that combined leadership, sustainability, culture, and fellowship.
A variety of workshops and discussions gave participants the opportunity to reflect on leadership, cooperation, and global challenges. Sessions included topics such as storytelling and leadership, building strategic partnerships within Rotaract, sustainable urban mobility through cycling infrastructure, and the role of water in peace and international cooperation.
In true Rotaract spirit, the program also included a social project with EndPlasticSoup, where participants learned about the impact of plastic pollution before joining a clean-up initiative across the city of Utrecht.
Beyond the workshops, the event also offered many ways to experience Dutch culture and connect with fellow Rotaractors. Participants explored Utrecht through guided city tours and canal boat rides, cycled through the Dutch countryside, and visited the famous windmills of Kinderdijk alongside a traditional cheese farm.
Other activities included a visit to the International Criminal Court, offering participants insight into international justice and the institutions that make The Hague the global city of peace and justice.
Of course, no international Rotaract gathering would be complete without moments of informal fellowship. From cheese tastings and Dutch beer tastings to cultural exchanges and late-night conversations, REM Utrecht created the kind of friendships and memories that make Rotaract truly international.
For our club, it was inspiring to see Rotaractors from across Europe gather here in the Netherlands. Events like REM remind us that while our projects may start locally, the Rotaract community stretches far beyond borders.
Last year, a few members of Rotaract Den Haag Scheveningen travelled to Skopje, North Macedonia, to attend the Rotaract European Meeting (REM). It may be a late reflection, but the experience is still very much worth sharing. REM is one of the gatherings that truly …
After the success of last year’s NATO Youth Peace Summit, we asked ourselves a simple question: why stop here? From 17 to 19 June 2026, the second edition of the Youth Peace Summit will take place at The Hague University of Applied Sciences. This year, …
This year, we celebrated another meaningful Sinterklaas together with the children, young mothers, men and all clients supported by KesslerPerspektief.
We proudly delivered 50 gifts, marking our fifth year of continuing this tradition.
Thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised over €920 in donations. A heartfelt thank you to Language Matters for their continued support, it truly made a big difference again this year. Our gratitude also goes to Rotary Pulchri for their contribution to the gifts.
A special word of thanks to HEMA in The Hague city centre. Without their help, many of the children’s presents would not have been possible.
We also want to highlight our Rotaract members, who came together to wrap the majority of the gifts. Their effort, patience, and creativity made the presents even more special for the children and young mothers.
This year, four volunteers joined our experienced Sinterklaas to hand out gifts to children and young mothers. It was wonderful to return once again and see the joy these moments bring.
Our fifth edition was a great success, thanks to everyone who donated money, gifts, or their time.
In these darker winter days, we try to bring a little extra light and cheer.
To share a smile is to do good, that is the Rotary way.
This year marks the 5th edition of our beloved Sinterklaas project, and we’re excited to continue spreading warmth and kindness to families who need it most. Every year, Rotaract Scheveningen, and our member Ilya Admiral bring gifts and a little joy to young parents and …
