Lions are men and women who care for their neighbors and work together to provide humanitarian services to those in need. The efforts of Lions Clubs not only serve their own communities but their province, country, and throughout the world, in many developing countries.
In 1925 Helen Keller, a renowned blind person, challenged Lions to become “Knights of the Blind in this Crusade Against Darkness.” Ever since then a primary focus of Lions Clubs has been in providing services for the blind and visually challenged. The most recent Campaign Sight First II raised over $200 million (US$) for the fight against blindness.
For many years Lions have been strong supporters of diabetes awareness and education programs, especially as they relate to the youth. Environmental and youth programs are also given a strong emphasis by Lions Clubs, as are community service activities.
Often Lions work behind the scenes supporting other community agencies in their fundraising or service efforts, as well as individuals in need.
