Kiwanis is a global organization dedicated to serving children and communities through various service projects and programs. The organization’s mission is to improve the world, one child and one community at a time, by fostering leadership skills, promoting fellowship, and conducting service projects that address the needs of children.

Kiwanis clubs are typically community-based and are composed of volunteers who come together to plan and implement service projects, fundraising activities, and social events. These projects often focus on areas such as child health and wellness, education, hunger relief, and environmental sustainability.
