Our Projects
We pursue four major types of projects. First and foremost, we pursue various healthcare-related projects—we seek to raise awareness of health risks(e.g., diabetes), facilitate the provision of health services (e.g., eye camps) and providing active help (e.g., eye donation, spectacles). Second, we seek to serve the community in various ways—from providing meals, assisting and conducting marriages, supporting funeral services for unclaimed corpses to supporting our youth in various ways (e.g., conducting programmes, organizing excursions). Third, we want to leave our planet enriched, even if it is in small ways such as tree planting. Finally, we celebrate various events with our Chennai brethren, be it in schools or old age homes or villages—these events range from Deepavali celebrations to birthdays of leaders in our great nation (e.g., Teachers Day, Mother Theresa’s birthday). To date, this Lionistic year, we have raised and conducted projects for over 10 lakhs Rupees and reached over 5,000 people.
