Lions stand for liberty intelligence our nation's safety and that is our slogan with the mono simply saying “WE SERVE".
it is the largest and most active humanitarian service organization that serves the needy and less fortunate in the community.
This association began as a dream of a Chicago insurance man by the name of Melvin jones who was a member of business club but with a giving soul.
On 7th June 1917 he formed the first club with only 12 members and became known as association of Lions clubs.
It was stipulated that clubs were not to be social in nature nor were members permitted to promote their own business interests.
During the same year in October, a call was issued for a national convention to be held in Dallas, Texas, and 36 delegates representing 22 business clubs from 9 states heeded the call and approved the Lions club’s designation thereby electing dr. William p. woods of Indiana as their first president.
The associations became international with the formation of the Windsor, Ontario, Canada Lions club in 1920 and later in Mexico, Cuba, far east, china and came to be known as the international association of Lions clubs.
By the year 1927, the total membership stood at 60,000 in 1,183 clubs.
East Africa saw the first Lions club in 1958 by formation of Lions club of Nairobi host and paved way for formation of other clubs in Kenya.

out of 21 charter members only two are with us and they are retired major Hashim Mbita and Anthony Almeida. due to their age and ill health, they are not present with us here, but they have extended their best wishes.
