In 1990, Lions launched its most aggressive sight preservation effort, SightFirst. The US$202 million program strives to rid the world of preventable and reversible blindness by supporting desperately needed health care services.
In addition to sight
programs, Lions Club
of Gandhidham is
committed to
providing services
for youth. Lions
clubs also work to
improve the
environment, build
homes for the
earthquake victims,
support diabetes
education, conduct
hearing programs
and, through their
LCIF foundation,
provide disaster
relief around the
world. We also have
projects like,
Sapling
distribution,
Tricycle
distribution,
Medical camps in
villages and
different schools,
Diabetic retinopathy
camps, Painting
competitions for
school children,
Felicitation of
teachers and
entertainment
programmes on

fruits distribution
to patients in
hospitals, Khadi

many other
activities
