Why & How:

Lions Clubs International initiated the global cause of battling childhood cancer to address the growing impact of cancer on children and their families worldwide. Childhood cancer is one of the leading causes of death among children, especially in low-resource areas where people struggle to access proper diagnosis, treatment, and care. Lions aim to:

1. Increase Awareness – Educate communities about the early signs and symptoms of childhood cancer to improve early detection.

2. Support Families – Provide emotional, financial, and logistical support to families navigating a cancer diagnosis.

3. Improve Treatment Access – Partner with hospitals and organizations to fund treatments, research, and healthcare.

4. Enhance Quality of Life – Offer support programs such as camps, therapy, and recreational activities for children undergoing treatment.

Lions Clubs International works with medical institutions, nonprofit organizations, and researchers to create sustainable solutions, ensuring that children worldwide have a fighting chance against cancer.
