Did you Know?
Lions are people who volunteer their time to humanitarian causes. Founded in 1917, our association’s motto is “We Serve”. Our 46,000 clubs and 1.35 million members make us the world's largest service club organization. We're also one of the most effective.
Worldwide, Lions clubs are recognized for their
service to people who are blind and visually impaired. This service
began when Helen Keller challenged Lions to become
“knights of the blind in the
crusade against darkness”.
Today, Lions extend their commitment to sight conservation
through countless local efforts, as well as through their
international Sight First Program, which works to eradicate
blindness.
Lions volunteer to take part in sight
projects that have:
·
Saved the sight of more than 15
million children by providing eye screenings, glasses and other
treatments through Sight for Kids.
·
Established or strengthened pediatric
eye care centers that have helped more than 120 million children.
·
Prevented serious vision loss for
more than 30 million people worldwide.
·
Improved eye care for 100 million
people by training more than 650,000 eye care professionals and
building 315 eye hospitals.
·
Distributed more than 147 million
treatments for river blindness.
·
Provided nearly 8 million cataract
surgeries.
Our members around the world are also
