Children's Library
|
Reading for children is important to all Kiwanis members, especially to those in Pennsylvania. Yearly the Kiwanis Club of Phoenixville donates funds to the Phoenixville Children's Library for their summer programs as well as general support. We hold several fundraisers throughout the year to raise funds for this and other projects.

IDD Program
|
IDD = Iodine Deficite Disorder. It is the #1 preventable cause of redardation world wide. Kiwanis International along with the help of UNICEF has taken on a project to rid the world of IDD by educating parents, teachers and others of the value of using iodized salt in their diets to prevent goiters, several birth defects and even infant deaths. To date we have made a significant impact on the world with this project. We won't stop until we have rid the world of this.
