Fighting Diabetes through the Core 4 Program
Lions have a long-standing commitment to improving health. Through the LCIF Core 4 diabetes program, multi-year grants are awarded to large-scale Lions’ efforts to support diabetes education, prevention and treatment programs. Diabetes is a chronic
disease, with the number of people affected expected to almost double in the
next 20 years. Recent successful Core 4 diabetes projects include expanding an education program for young people by the Lions in District 118-U (Turkey), and the development of an early detection and education program for low-income senior citizens by the Lions in District 354-B (Korea).
