About Us:

The Lions Club International is the largest and most effective community service organization in 

the world. We have over 1.4 million members in more than 40,000 clubs in roughly 180 countries 

and areas of the world. Our motto best describes our mission: "We Serve". Lions Club 

International is a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to helping people in need, in both 

the local community as well as throughout the world. At present, our major international service 

commitment is SightFirst: Lions Conquering Blindness, which has an aim to eliminate preventable 

and reversible blindness around the world. 

Our Objectives:

To Create and foster a spirit of understanding among the peoples of the world.  To Promote the 

principles of good government and good citizenship. To take an active interest in the civic, 

cultural, social and moral welfare of the community. To Unite the clubs in bonds of friendship, 

good fellowship and mutual understanding.  To Provide a forum for the open discussion of all 

matters of public interest; provided, however, that partisan politics and sectarian religion shall not 

be debated by the club members. To Encourage service minded people to serve their community 

without personal financial reward, and to encourage efficiency and promote high ethical 

standards in commerce, industry, professions, public works and private endeavors.
