The new president was installed during a celebration held in Kigali on Thursday, July 10, 2025.
A medical doctor by profession, Dr. Muderevu also serves as the national chair of the Polio Eradication Commission for all Rotary Clubs in Rwanda.
He succeeds Ida Alexandra de Cordier, who reflected on a productive year marked by key achievements, including the training of 140 nurses on pediatric cardiac care, the creation of five cooperatives producing reusable sanitary pads for schools in Burera District, and the founding of the Bwiza Initiative in Kicukiro District to support the reintegration and education of former street children.
Looking ahead, Dr. Muderevu emphasised that expanding the club's membership base is crucial to scaling its impact.
'The more members we have, the more lives we can touch,' he said.
Among his flagship projects is the installation of a biogas facility at Ecole des Sciences Saint Louis De Montfort in Nyanza, which serves nearly 800 students. The goal is to reduce reliance on firewood for cooking, thereby protecting the environment and improving air quality.
Rotary Club Kigali-Doyen also plans to collaborate with partners to purchase a medical device for the early detection of breast cancer. Early diagnosis significantly improves recovery rates, with up to 80% of cases successfully treated when identified in time.
Founded in 1965, Rotary Club Kigali-Doyen is the oldest of Rwanda's 12 Rotary Clubs and is preparing to celebrate its 60th anniversary of service to the community.
