RCNC History

RCNC’s Legacy of Leadership and Service

Building Tomorrow’s Leaders Since 1977

The Rotaract Club of Nairobi Central stands as a testament to visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to community service. Chartered in the Rotary Year 1977/78, our club was born from the vision of founding father Rtn. Mike Eldon, who recognized the immense potential of young professionals in shaping Kenya’s future. Our distinguished heritage runs deep through Kenya’s social and political landscape. We are proudly sponsored by the Rotary Club of Nairobi—the oldest Rotary club in Eastern and Central Africa and the third oldest on the continent.
