Our District

The Kiwanis Southern Philippine District (KSPD) began its formal journey on October 1, 1975, marking a pivotal moment for Kiwanis International's reach within the Philippine archipelago. This establishment provided a structured framework for Kiwanis's service-oriented mission to flourish across the geographically diverse regions of Visayas and Mindanao.

Prior to this, individual Kiwanis clubs existed, but the creation of the district allowed for a more unified and coordinated approach to community service. This organizational step was crucial in ensuring that the core values of Kiwanis, particularly the dedication to serving children, could be effectively implemented across a wide and varied landscape.

From its inception, the KSPD has been characterized by its commitment to addressing the specific needs of the communities it serves. The vastness of its territory necessitated the development of a divisional structure, enabling localized service and fostering closer connections between member clubs and the people they aim to help.

This structure has proven vital in facilitating the implementation of numerous service projects, ranging from providing aid to underprivileged children to supporting environmental initiatives. Over the decades, the KSPD has become deeply ingrained in the social fabric of the Visayas and Mindanao regions, consistently demonstrating its dedication to improving the lives of its residents.

Today, the Kiwanis Southern Philippine District continues to be a dynamic and impactful force for good. Its member clubs remain actively engaged in a wide array of community service endeavors, adapting to the evolving challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.

Recent activities highlight a strong focus on empowering children and supporting individuals with disabilities, reflecting the district's enduring commitment to its core mission. As the KSPD moves forward, it remains a testament to the enduring power of volunteerism and the profound difference that dedicated individuals can make in their communities.
