LCIF combats needless blindness through cataract surgery; building and equipping eye hospitals and clinics; and raising awareness of eye disease. It conducts 600,000 glaucoma screening tests and 20,000 corneal transplants each year. It is also responsible for establishing and supporting most of the world's eye banks.

LCIF enables Lions to tackle global problems such as blindness and hearing loss. It also responds to major catastrophes such as earthquakes and floods. Lions Hope for Haiti is mobilizing nearly £6 million.

Six hundred Haitian families are moving into new, temporary homes thanks to an initiative between LCIF, the Lions of MD111 Germany and HELP, an international non-governmental organization. This the first of many reconstruction projects to receive support from LCIF thanks to generous financial support of Lions worldwide following the devastating earthquake.

LCIF nurtures the potential of youth by building schools and supporting a life-skills program. It also promotes health by building and equipping medical clinics, serves the elderly by constructing senior citizen centres, empowers the disabled by supporting vocational programs and helps victims of disasters through rebuilding projects and short-term relief.
