“Kiwanis International has been helping UNICEF tackle health challenges around the world — and deliver impact for children and families — for more than three decades.

 

“Kiwanis International is a global community of 438,000 members across 82 countries and territories committed to serving the children of the world.”

 

“This global volunteer organization dedicates more than 7.3 million hours to strengthen communities and help children. Through service projects and fundraisers, Kiwanis members improve their communities, make lifelong friendships, and help children reach their full potential.”

 

“Kiwanis International offers three types of clubs for adults: Kiwanis, Aktion Club (adults with disabilities), and Circle K (college), as well as three clubs for youth: Key Club (high school), Builders Club (middle school) and K-Kids (elementary school). Key Club and Circle K have supported Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF since 1994, raising more than $8 million through Trick-or-Treat events.”

 

You can be involved with UNICEF this month by supporting the Start Strong: Zambia campaign. “Key Club International is proud to support UNICEF USA on Start Strong: Zambia. Members around the world are raising money to help young children in Zambia, a southeastern African nation, have the best start in life possible. Through early childhood, the brain grows at an amazing rate, with 90% of its development completed by age 5. But in Zambia, three out of four first-grade students aren’t ready for school because they haven’t received proper nutrition, health care, and learning opportunities” For more information visit: www.keyclub.org/startstrongzambia
