Who We Are

A Community of People Who Choose to Serve

The Kiwanis Club of Lubao Gems is a volunteer-driven service organization in Lubao, Pampanga, Philippines, and a member of the Kiwanis International family.

Chartered on August 1, 2015, our club brings together people from different professions, generations and walks of life who share a common purpose:

Serving the Children of the World.

We believe that meaningful change begins when people are willing to see a need, respond with compassion and work together to create an opportunity for a child.

More Than a Club

KC-Lubao Gems is more than a group that organizes service activities.

We are a community of people who believe that service can develop leaders, strengthen relationships and create lasting connections between people and the communities they serve.

Our members include teachers, healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, parents, community leaders, young professionals and volunteers. Some serve in Lubao and surrounding communities. Others contribute from different parts of the Philippines or from overseas.

Our professions may be different.

Our circumstances may be different.

Our talents may be different.

Our purpose is shared.

Our Mission

To improve the world one child and one community at a time through compassionate service, leadership, fellowship and meaningful partnerships.

Our Vision

We envision communities where children are supported, protected and given opportunities to learn, grow, thrive and reach their potential.

We work toward this vision through service that responds to real community needs—particularly in education, health, nutrition, children’s well-being, leadership, environmental stewardship and community development.

What Guides Us

Our work is grounded in values that shape how we serve:

Compassion

We serve with kindness, empathy and respect for the people and communities we encounter.

Integrity

We strive to act with honesty, accountability and responsibility.

Service

We put the needs of children and communities at the heart of our work.

Leadership

We believe service develops leaders who can inspire others and create positive change.

Partnership

We know that lasting impact is stronger when communities, organizations, businesses, schools and volunteers work together.

Fellowship

We build friendships and meaningful relationships through shared service.

How We Serve

We respond to community needs through a range of service initiatives, including:

  • Education and school support
  • Children’s health and nutrition
  • Medical and dental outreach
  • Music and children’s development
  • Coastal and remote-community outreach
  • Indigenous community support
  • Environmental activities
  • Humanitarian and community assistance
  • Youth and leadership development

Our projects may change according to the needs of the communities we serve.

Our purpose does not.

Children remain at the center of our service.

We Believe in Partnership

We know that no organization can create meaningful community change alone.

Our service is strengthened by volunteers, sponsors, foundations, schools, businesses, healthcare professionals, local communities, fellow Kiwanis clubs and other organizations that share our commitment to children.

Partnership allows a good idea to reach farther.

It allows resources to go where they are needed.

And it allows people with different strengths to work toward one purpose.

What Makes KC-Lubao Gems Different?

We are proud of our accomplishments and grateful for the recognition our club has received.

But our identity is not defined by awards.

It is defined by the people who continue to show up.

By members who give their time.

By volunteers who contribute their skills.

By partners who trust us.

By communities that welcome us.

And by children who remind us why the work matters.

Our Place in Kiwanis

As a Kiwanis club, we are part of a worldwide movement of volunteers dedicated to improving the lives of children and communities.

Being part of Kiwanis gives our members opportunities to serve locally while connecting with a larger community of people who believe that children deserve a better future.

For us, Kiwanis is where service, leadership and fellowship come together.

This Is Who We Are

We are not all the same.

We do not have the same professions, schedules, experiences or resources.

But we share a belief:

Every child deserves someone willing to care.

That is who we are.

The Kiwanis Club of Lubao Gems.

Serving children. Building communities. Inspiring hope.
