By providing environmental stewardship, we strengthen the relationship between communities & their environment. We create better health and a more sustainable world for us and future generations. Environment will be one of our two frontline service areas.

Our goal is to serve 5,000 people through environmental activities by 30 June 2025

Therefore, we will:

1. Be planting at 5,000 trees
2. Have a green space on Lions own land, have a partnership with institutions like schools, health centers, Police, churches among Good judgment will be critical as to the value, types, care, and ownership of the trees. Fruit trees have multiple advantages. Community members should be active partners rather than spectators for success.
3. Undertake environmental activities relevant to their community, examples are: cleaning rivers, work spaces, homes, provision of water, management of plastics, drainage management
4. We should all plan to celebrate with impact World Environment day on 22 April

“Lions clubs exist to encourage service minded men and women to serve their communities without personal financial gain, and to encourage efficiency, and promote high ethical standards in commerce, industry, professions and other forms of public works and private endeavours” We work to change the world, one action at a time’’.

All clubs and members need to participate in community service delivery. Service planning is critical and takes into account: needs assessment timing, resources to use, stakeholders, packaging, delivery, reporting, celebration for team satisfaction and impact.

A good mix of awareness, advocacy and physical service delivery will raise club and lions’ visibility.

We generate service ideas and activities locally to remain relevant to our communities. Every club, We endeavour to meet community needs as far as is possible. We also understand that Different communities have different needs.

Cancer is a leading cause of death for children and adolescents around the world. Globally, approximately 400,000 children aged 0 to 19 years old are diagnosed with cancer each year. 9/10 of these live in low and middle income countries. Only 20-30% of these survive cancer in low income countries as opposed to 80% in high income countries.

Our goal is to serve more than 500 children and persons who can be directly affected by this disease.

In Uganda, it is estimated that about 4,000 to 6,000 new cases of childhood cancer occur each year. Most children go undiagnosed or are diagnosed too late for successful intervention due to lack of healthcare providers who are knowledgeable about childhood cancer. Experts tell us that if detected early, childhood cancer can be treated to normality. Clubs should work with health workers to conduct childhood cancer awareness campaigns in the media, hospitals and public spaces. Ongoing LCIF partnership with Global HOPE is trying to help address the huge discrepancies in outcomes from childhood cancer in developed and developing countries. Global HOPE has a presence at Mulago National Referral Hospital where LCIF has undertaken to support establishment of a modern childhood cancer pharmacy.

Cancer treatment can be expensive and takes a long time. In most cases, the parents are poor and have to seek treatment in far off hospitals. Government is offering support and Lions can provide support to those who give care to and the sick children.

Lions should organize childhood cancer activities to commemorate the World Cancer Day on 4th February 2025 and Childhood Cancer Day, 15th February 2025.

Close to 500 million people are affected by Diabetes globally. About 5 million people (or one out of five) succumb to diabetes annually. The goal is to conduct diabetes awareness campaigns and screening camps to serve 200,000 people by 30 June 2025.

As Lions, we have committed ourselves to fight for better diabetes relief. Our district will continue to run initiatives and programs that will improve the lives of those living with diabetes and helping others from developing type 2 diabetes.

Our goal is to serve 1,000 people through Diabetes screening, awareness and support activities by 30^th June 2025. Therefore, this is what we intend to do as aclub:

1. Conduct a minimum of three diabetes awareness campaigns through the mass media, social media and
2. Initiate regular bicycle rides, exercises, revive the walking culture at every club for both Lions and community members. In addition to fighting diabetes, we will have
3. Initiate weekly/monthly/quarterly fitness exercises and games at every quarterly
4. All clubs should commemorate with impact the World Diabetes Day on 14 November

Many people in our communities are affected by hunger & nutrition crisis. As Lions, we take this challenge head-on to ensure hunger relief for our community members.

Some people are too vulnerable to meet their food and nutritional needs such as the urban poor, patients in hospitals, orphanages, homes/hostels for the physically and mentally challenged and childhood cancer patients, the elderly persons in communities, children in schools, and disaster stricken communities among others.

We need to think of their nutritional needs and know that Charity begins at home.Lions look at friends, family and neighbours in need of food first. LCIF has undertaken to support World Food program with a grant of USD 1,000,000 to feed hundreds of thousands of School going children in Karamoja in the course of this Lions’ year. The District will participate actively in this program with a view of creating hunger prevention measures and report outcomes.

Our goal is to serve 5,000 people by 30th June 2025. The goal can be achieved by

1. Club Focus as guided by the District 411B
2. Providing support to people in need of food such as orphanages, homes for the physically challenged and
3. Community empowerment in planning for and meeting their food
