About Us

Sharing The Vision

   

  • 19 million children are visually impaired – of these, nearly 2 of 3  just need access to simple eyeglasses to correct refractive errors,  including myopia (a condition in which distant objects appear blurry).
  • It is estimated that global myopia incidence rates will double to 50% by 2050.
  • Lions, Johnson & Johnson and local partners created Sight for  Kids, a program that mobilizes eye care professionals and volunteers to  conduct vision screenings in low-income schools and provides teachers  with eye health training.
  • To date, 150,000 Sight for Kids-trained teachers have screened 24.1 million kids for visual impairment. The program has provided free services to 500,000 kids.
  • Sight for Kids aims to double the total number of children treated to 1 million by 2021.
  • US$1 provides four kids with Sight for Kids eye health education and access to vision screenings.

What We Do

 

Every day, Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) works to fulfill our mission: "To  support the efforts of Lions clubs and partners in serving communities  locally and globally, giving hope and impacting lives through  humanitarian service projects and grants." Since our founding in 1968 we have strived to sustain Lions’  humanitarian service goals throughout the world, awarding over 13,000  grants totaling more than US$1 billion, in the four key areas of sight,  youth, disaster relief and other humanitarian efforts. We give sight. LCIF  is providing vision for those in need all over the world by combating  eye diseases, creating infrastructure to improve eye care delivery,  increasing the number of trained eye care professionals and making  vision care more equitable and sustainable. We support youth. All  young people deserve to have an education, feel cared for and  experience healthy development so they can have the chance to achieve  their dreams. Through our positive youth development program, Lions  Quest, LCIF is helping children learn to work together, make positive  decisions and serve their communities. The Foundation also supports  youth through constructing schools, youth centers and vocational  training centers. We provide disaster relief. Lions  are often some of the first to arrive at a disaster to provide relief,  and Foundation support is right there with them. We help devastated  communities survive after disasters and bring hope by assisting in  long-term efforts of rebuilding of homes and lives. We address humanitarian needs. From  working to combat global health issues such as measles and diabetes to  empowering those with disabilities to lead more independent and  fulfilling lives, LCIF is dedicated to a range of humanitarian service  projects. The Foundation continues to develop and expand programs that  meet emerging needs worldwide.
