ALIGNMENT LCI GLOBAL CAUSES WITH A TWIST

DIABETES

DIABETES

According to statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of people with diabetes has risen from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. The global prevalence of diabetes among adults over 18 years of age has risen from 4.7 per cent in 1980 to 8.5 per cent in 2014.WHO projects that diabetes will be the seventh-leading cause of death in 2030.



CANCER AWARENESS AND ACTION

The next generation’s ability to thrive is closely tied to the support of the local community. Lions and Leos have seen and felt the effects of cancer on children and their families, clubs should continue to bring hope through tangible service and support.

VISION

VISION

Lions and Leos save Sight. Since Helen Keller challenged Lions to become knights of the Blind in 1925, we have improved eye health care for hundreds of people around the world. Today 80% of vision impairments are preventable or curable, so our service is more important than ever before.






HUNGER AND HOMELESSNESS

Our new Global Cause give Lions around the world new opportunities to unite, so we can address some of the most pressing issues facing humanity, such as (Hunger & Homelessness) This year we are encouraging all clubs to expand their Service and use the resources available to them to make an even bigger difference in their various countries and communities.






HUNGER AND HOMELESSNESS

ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE

ENVIRONMENT & CLIMATE CHANGE

We live in a space that is prone to natural disasters each year. Some arears are harder hit that others. However, we have all felt the impact of the devastating effects of the annual hurricane seasons in one way or the other.

As Lions we need to always be prepared to spring into action wherever and whenever the need arises. There is the issue of proper solid waste management and it’s far reaching implications for the countries within our District. In Jamaica alone, 8,657 tonnes of solid waste is produced per day according to the National Environment and Planning Agency.

Building A Better Tomorrow Through Kindness

PARENTING & YOUTH

PARENTING & YOUTH

The District Governor’s focus area of Parenting & Youth is directly related to the future of District 60B. While parenting and youth may be considered two separate areas of focus, the commonality is family. The District Governor recognizes that family units are important – as independent units and collectively. This Lionistic year all Clubs will have the opportunity to engage and educate parents and youth within their communities with meaningful projects.


LEO PROGRAMME

Worldwide there are 7000 Leo Clubs with over 175,000 members in 145 countries worldwide. Leos have contributed to over 24,000 projects.

Within District 60 B during this Lionistic year we are redoubling our efforts to offer our Leos experiences that with nurture their leadership and provide opportunities to utilize their talents and enhance their capabilities as well as to strengthen the relationships between Lions and Leos.



LEO PROGRAMME

DRUG ADDICTION & ABUSE

DRUG ADDICTION & ABUSE

Drug abuse is a growing threat to the Caribbean Regions children and as a result its future.

The Caribbean’s youth and adolescent have been identified as being most vulnerable to the growing problem of substance use and abuse. Data put forward by the Inter-American Drug Abuse Commission, CICAD, reveal that the average age of “first-use” of drugs is approximately age ten and in many instances as low as age seven.




SUSTAINABLE EMPOWERMENT

The Sustainable Empowerment initiative is a focal core area of the District Governor’s objectives for the Lionistic year 2020-2021. The intention is to provide valuable and needed service to the community, to elevate awareness of the Lions brand “Service” and to increase membership.

The project should be such that it is perpetuated across Lionistic years, from one year to another. It should be enhancing and for visibility branded with the Lions Logo. It should be of high impact since it should create money earning opportunities or a life-skill for the participants. The project should enhance membership experience and develop new partnerships.

NORTH AMERICA MEMBERSHIP INITIATIVE

NORTH AMERICA MEMBERSHIP INITIATIVE

NAMI

NAMI is a focused programme designed to address and reverse the decline in Lions membership in Constitutional Areas 1 and 2 (CA1 and CA2).

NAMI is authorised by The Lions Clubs International Board of Directors at the October 2018 Board meeting.

NAMI is very important as evidence of similar membership decline is appearing in other parts of the world. We need to establish a solid plan for revitalisation and growth before our organisation's ability to serve humanity......Our Core Mission......is fundamentally compromised!
