The Rotary Foundation will host the 5th Edition of the Africa Peace Concert at Speke Resort Munyonyo on Friday, October 31, 2025, in a grand celebration of music, culture, and unity under the theme of peace.
The much-anticipated concert will feature Uganda’s legendary jazz maestro Isaiah Katumwa as the headline performer. The event aims to raise funds in support of the Rotary Peace Center at Makerere University, a hub for peacebuilding and conflict resolution across Africa.
“In the 5th edition, we unite under one purpose: peace. We are not just celebrating music and culture; we are supporting the Rotary Peace Center at Makerere University, a hub for peace building and conflict resolution in Africa,” the organizers said.
