The foundation
was, by overwhelming majority, decided by the Danish Lions Clubs,
MD106, at there annual convention May 18, 1974.
The foundation
has, solely purpose to, by funds from the clubs under MD106, make
releif doing or immediately after disasters or emergency situations in
Denmark or in other countries. By the term disaster means a situation,
where a large number of people are brought in a situation, where there
livelihood or the society is in danger.
When
aid has to be used outside Denmark, it has to be donated in such a way,
that it safely and effective goes undisturbed to the needing part. This
help has to be donated through a local Lions District or Club, LCIF or
an established NGO with a well-established reputation.
As an example on
how the foundation works, the foundation did donate a total of
1.286.000 USD doing the aftermath after theTsunami in Asia. The funds
built 3 schools, private homes, donated fishing boats and did give the
immediately help the first days and weeks after the disaster. All
through the local Lions.
The Foundation has of November 2007
finished, in close operation with District 301 A2 in the Phillipines,
building new homes for the ones hid by the typhoon in late November
2006. The photos here shows the before and after situation at the
affected area.
