On Sunday 28th April, the Rotary Club of Kisaasi – Kyanja, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, organized the fourth Ride Against Malaria race.
The event, which took place in Kampala, featured the participation of both amateur and professional riders dedicated to the cause of reducing malaria mortality rates.
