Community service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club, no matter where in the world it’s located. Kiwanis members stage approximately 150,000 service projects and raise nearly US$100 million every year for communities, families and projects. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone. We aim to change the world by serving children, one community and one child at a time. You can find out more on the Kiwanis International and Kiwanis Australia District websites.
