Lions Clubs International

Whether a flood in a local community or a large-scale global catastrophe, Lions are the “first in” and “last out” when a natural disaster strikes. LCIF funding enables Lions to meet needs in the immediate aftermath of a disaster by providing food, medicine and clothing. Long-term efforts help rebuild communities through housing reconstruction and social services. LCIF provided more than US$15 million in relief after the Southeast Asia Tsunami, more than US$3 million after the Sichuan (China) earthquake and in the United States, Lions mobilized more than US$5 million to assist those affected by Hurricane Katrina. Additionally, LCIF has provided hundreds of grants each year for local disasters around the world.
