KIWANIS CLUB OF BARBADOS SOUTH

The Kiwanis Club of Barbados South is a member of Kiwanis International, a worldwide service organisation, and is one of eight Kiwanis clubs in Barbados. The club was organised in September 1989 and chartered in March 1990.

The club is a member of the Eastern Canada and the Caribbean District of Kiwanis Inernational and falls under Division 27. The members strive to fulfil the vision of Kiwanis International of improving the world one child and one community at a time.

Prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the club met weekly at the Southern Palms Beach Hotel, St. Lawrence Gap, Christ Church. Currently the club meets online, via Zoom, every Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. for an evening of fun, fellowship and education.

Club meetings traditionally are designed to be interesting, informative and entertaining. Interactive participation is encouraged.

Guided by six permanent Objects, the club seeks to evaluate both children's issues and community needs on an ongoing basis, conduct service projects to respond to those identified and maintain an active membership roster of persons who have both the desire and the ability to serve our community.

Service projects of the club are the responsibility of its committees, and include Kiwanis branded service projects of Kiwanis One Day, Read Around the World, Young Children: Priority One, and the Service Leadership Programmes.
