Lions Clubs International District 410-W covers two provinces of the Republic of South Africa, the Western and Northern Cape and the Republic of Namibia. There are 55 chartered Lions Clubs and approximately 900 members in the District, it stretches from Knysna in the Western Cape, South Africa all the way to Tsumeb in Namibia. It is part of Lions Multiple District 410.
The services provided by the many Lions Clubs around the District range from assisting senior citizens, helping our youth to grow and develop, feeding the hungry, rebuilding the lives of those that are victims of disasters, restoring sight to the blind, looking after our environment, getting involved with the community to ensure good health, and many more needs to communities and individuals are met by individual Lions Clubs and members.
Lions Clubs International came to South Africa in 1957, and the organisation has grown exponentially since then. The very first club to be chartered was the Cape Town Lions Club. There are now two Districts within our Multiple District which cover the countries of South Africa, Namibia, Swaziland and Lesotho. The numerous clubs around the country provide a vital lifeline for the many needy communities. Clubs are made up of dedicated volunteers from all walks of life who give up their spare time to serve those in need.
The eight pillars of service for Lions around the world are: Humanitarian Efforts, Youth, Disaster Relief, Vision, Hunger, Environment, Diabetes and Childhood Cancer.
