Lions Clubs International is the largest service club organization in the world.
We have more than 1.4 million members in more than 46,000 clubs worldwide.
Lions give sight. By conducting vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and
raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward the goal of providing vision for all. Through the support of the
Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF), Lions have helped provide more than 153 million treatments for river
blindness and 72 million doses of a sight-saving trachoma medication through the SightFirst program alongside
our partners. Lions and LCIF have also helped provide vision screenings for more than 22 million children through
the Sight for Kids partnership program./p>
Where there’s a need, there’s a Lion.
For every incredible Lions service project, there are hundreds more just like it—filled with kind-hearted individuals volunteering their time to better our communities. Lions represent the best in all of us. Being part of a Lions club means having the opportunity to do something truly special: selflessly serve others.
