Typhoon Victims Need Kiwanians’ Help

August 20, 2009

Thousands of families have been tragically affected by the typhoon Marakot that struck Taiwan in early August 2009. Torrential rain and mudslides have devastated this area, causing many deaths and leaving people homeless.


Officers from Kiwanis International and the Kiwanis International Foundation are asking members worldwide to support efforts to provide short-term help to the families, and to announce that proceeds from the Kiwanis International Disaster Fund will be used to aid children left homeless and in need of help by the devastating typhoon.


The foundation will work through the Kiwanis district office in Taiwan to ensure that funds are available and directed to children with the most critical needs.


Please send your support to the Kiwanis International Foundation, mentioning the Disaster Relief Fund for Taiwan. Donations can be sent to:
