In addition to various grants and projects, the Kiwanis Children’s Fund (formerly the Kiwanis International Foundation) in the last few decades has adopted two major projects in cooperation with other U.S. and international organizations, other national governments, and private entities to have a major impact on two world-wide health issues. The Kiwanis Club of LSU has assisted in funding these efforts. More information about these projects is available below and on the Kiwanis International website (here).
