Chartered on 28 March 2006, the Rotaract Club of Gulu University has grown into one of northern Uganda's most dynamic platforms for youth leadership, service, fellowship, and community transformation. For 20 years, The Elephants have lived by the Rotaract spirit of Service Above Self — responding to community needs through innovative projects and partnerships that span environmental conservation, health promotion, and psychosocial support. From our humble beginnings on Gulu University's main campus, we have built a tradition of excellence recognised at district level and beyond. Our members are young professionals in the making — and the communities of Gulu are better for it.
