Helping LCIF and Lions protect a child’s sight is as easy as snapping and sharing a photo! For every photo you donate through Johnson & Johnson’s Donate a Photo app*, Johnson & Johnson will donate US$1 to Lions Clubs International Foundation’s (LCIF) Sight for Kids program, up to US$40,000.
Each photo you “donate” via the app (up to 1 per day) on behalf of our “Sight for Kids” cause will help Lions and our partner, Johnson & Johnson Vision (JJV), provide eye health education, vision screening and access to a professional eye exam to a child. In fact, each and every photo (and resulting US$1) helps us provide eye care access to up to four children through Sight for Kids innovative and sustainable model.
Sight for Kids mobilizes local Lions, teachers and eye care professionals to improve eye health awareness and remove eye care barriers to for children in underserved areas across Asia, as well as in Kenya and Turkey – including providing exams, and eye glasses and other treatment.

Photo Guidelines
- Lions and the public can donate up to one photo a day, every day, to benefit LCIF’s Sight for Kids cause through December 31, 2019.
- Any appropriate snapshot helps save sight: a photo of your coffee cup, your pet, a local landscape, a selfie. Many Lions are sharing photos of faces or eyes or favorite views to inspire and raise awareness about the importance of eye health and accessible eye care and exams, especially for our kids.
- Be sure to tag photos with @lionsclubs, @lciflions, and @JNJ on Facebook and @lionsclubs, @donateaphote, and @jnjvision on Twitter. LCIF will share select photos through the Lions Clubs International official Facebook and Twitter pages.
Since 2002, LCIF and JJV’s Sight for Kids program has worked to provide eye health education and eye care and eyeglasses access to 25 million underserved school children throughout Asia, Kenya and Turkey.
