By pooling financial resources through the foundation, Kiwanis members are changing the world, especially for young children. Every year, tornadoes sweep up neighborhoods, earthquakes shatter cities, and floods consume entire regions.
Nature is capable of causing millions of dollars of destruction in just seconds.
With area Kiwanis clubs or districts providing volunteers and the foundation combining the charitable gifts of members worldwide, many children and their families find a quick route to recovery when nature unleashes its fury. When a tornado struck Ohio and floods ravaged Venezuela recently, your foundation was able to help the children whose schools, homes, and lives were destroyed. For many of the world's children, their lives have not been wrecked by winds, rains, or fire. Rather, they are plagued by poverty, illness, a lack of educational opportunities, and so much more. Every year, the foundation uses your donations to help these young children and raise the level of awareness of Kiwanis.
