Who Are The Lions > Internationally

The International Association of Lions Clubs is today the largest service club organisation in the world with over 1.3 million members in more than 46,000 clubs in 202 countries.

The International Association of Lions Clubs is the largest non-governmental organisation associated with the United Nations and was called upon by the United Nations and the World Health Organization to raise funds for an international program of sight conservation. In 1990 the International Association of Lions Clubs began a program of fund raising that they called “Campaign SightFirst” in order to prevent 40 million cases of blindness worldwide. Over US$ 148 million have been raised by Lions all over the world for this program. In the last three years Lions world wide have raised an additional US$200 million towards "Campaign SightFirst II".
