Lions Clubs – Where There's A Need There's A Lion
Whenever a Lions club gets together, problems get smaller. And communities get better. That's because we help where help is needed – in our own communities and around the world – with unmatched integrity and energy.
The World's Largest Service Club Organization
Our 46,000 clubs and 1.4+ million members make us the world's largest service club organization. We're also one of the most effective. Our members do whatever is needed to help their local communities. Everywhere we work, we make friends. With children who need eyeglasses, with seniors who don’t have enough to eat and with people we may never meet.
Mission Statement:
To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions clubs.
Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organisation with 1.3 million members in approximately 46,000 clubs in 205 countries.
Lions are men and women who volunteer their time for humanitarian causes.
Founded in Chicago in 1917 by Melvin Jones, the organisation spread into Canada and then to Europe landing in our wonderful South Africa.
Our motto is "We Serve"
George Lions participate in many national and international projects but we are primarily concerned with serving the local community of George.
