Community Volunteer Work That Makes A Difference
Orange CT Lions Club
LCIF is a leader in providing support for preventing avoidable blindness and restoring sight for
people around the world. Our sight programs range from developing and improving eye care
systems to providing sight-restoring surgeries and treatments to distributing medications to
those most at-risk for eye diseases.
SightFirst: Lions’ Vision for All
Since its inception in 1990, the SightFirst program has played a key role in reducing blindness
worldwide. It is only through the collaborative efforts of Lions, our partners, local health
authorities, eye care professionals and other non-governmental organizations that SightFirst
has been able to help 30 million people have improved or restored vision. SightFirst serves as
a leading member of VISION 2020, the global initiative for the elimination of avoidable blindness.
With a focus on building comprehensive and sustainable eye care systems, SightFirst provides
funding for projects that deliver eye care services, build or strengthen eye care facilities, train
professionals and build awareness about eye health in underserved communities. Through two
fundraising campaigns, Lions are investing US$415 million in the SightFirst program to extend its
services to even more people in need throughout the world. With an average cost of just US $6
to help restore a person’s vision or prevent blindness, millions more will be given the gift of sight.
