In line with Rotary extension program, the idea of establishing a new Rotary Club in Westlands - Nairobi, a fast growing business suburb of Nairobi was mooted in the Rotary year 1988/ 89 when Past District Governor Rtn. Abdul Lakha was the Governor of District 9200. District Governor Yusuf Kodwavwala (1989/90) took the matter further and asked Past Chairman (President) Rtn. Nalin Shretta of Rotary Club of Hurlingham to be his special representative. Two years later in 1990/91 Rotary Club of Hurlingham sponsored the new club in Westlands. Rtn.
