The Rotaract Club of Accra-East Legon, in partnership with the Rotaract Clubs of Accra-East and Kumasi, successfully held the second edition of its flagship health outreach program, My Health. My Life 2.0, on Saturday, 24th May 2025, at the La Bawaleshie Chief’s Palace.
Starting promptly at 10:00 AM, the event brought together health professionals, volunteers, community elders, and over 250 residents of La Bawaleshie and surrounding areas for a day dedicated to wellness, prevention, and care. The outreach provided free medical screenings, wellness consultations, and access to vital medications at no cost to beneficiaries.

Speaking at the event, President of the Rotaract Club of Accra-East Legon, Rtn. Divine Mawuena, emphasized the club’s continued commitment to health equity and community development.
“At the heart of ‘My Health. My Life.’ is a belief that access to basic healthcare is not a luxury, but a right. We are humbled to serve this community, and we extend our deepest gratitude to all our partners and sponsors who made today possible,” he said.

Community Response
The screening drew commendation from the local chief and community elders, who expressed their gratitude for the club’s selfless gesture. Many described it as “timely” and “life-saving,” especially in a period when many struggle with access to basic healthcare services.
“These are the kinds of initiatives our community needs,” said one elder. “We are grateful to the Rotaract Club and all its partners for thinking about the health of our people.”
Club Collaboration & Volunteer Spirit
The collaboration with Rotaract Club of Accra-East and Rotaract Club of Kumasi brought added energy and resources to the project. Rotaractors took on various roles from logistics to patient registration, crowd control, wellness education, and post-screening follow-up.
The seamless coordination and shared spirit of service across all volunteers reaffirmed the value of partnerships in community service.
