Children throughout the world suffer from hunger, abuse, neglect, and improper or substandard medical care. The Kiwanis International has the opportunity and responsibility to unite the members of the Kiwanis family to ease the suffering of children around the world. Through continuous support from Kiwanis members and clubs, the Foundation strives to improve children's and teens' lives by providing grants and aid.

 
 

 

As most Kiwanians know, the Kiwanis International is not supported by any monetary dues from clubs, magazine subscriptions or merchandise purchases. The Foundation is strictly grown from contributions from the Kiwanis International membership, which is why your help is so important.
