Your generosity reaches across borders, transforming lives every day. Since 1973, LCIF has awarded over 2,700 grants totaling more than US$133 million to Lions in India. This shows how every donation creates lasting, measurable change.
Because 100% of your donation supports LCIF India programs and grants, you help bring our mission to life where it’s needed most. LCIF-supported projects span all regions of the country.
Through a District and Club Community Impact Grant, LCIF supported the installation of 25 water coolers with purifiers across District 321E in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
Installed in public spaces, the coolers now serve an estimated 150,000 people each month, reducing waterborne illness and supporting healthier communities.

Improved infrastructure, transport, technology and physiotherapy equipment now support 132 students and 22 staff members, fostering long-term independence and inclusion.
Through a Hunger Grant, LCIF supported the renovation of a Lions community kitchen in Kolkata.
The upgraded kitchen enables efficient preparation and distribution of nutritious meals, helping vulnerable individuals and families achieve reliable food access.
Through a Leo Service Grant, LCIF supported a youth-led hunger relief initiative in Gujarat.
Over three days, eight Leo clubs prepared and distributed 20,000 food packets, addressing immediate food insecurity with compassion and impact.
