Bangladesh Lions Foundation is the pride project of all Lions & Leos of geographical area Multiple District-315 Bangladesh. In order to establish a permanent welfare institution at the national level and to supplement the efforts and programmes of Lions and Leo clubs, the Bangladesh Lions Foundation was established in 1974 under the dynamic leadership of Father of Lionism in Bangladesh Lion Late M.R. Siddique at Mirpur. This welfare service-oriented Foundation is a non-profit, tax-exempt and registered welfare organization. Its basic purpose is to promote human welfare by judicious use of the funds by the Lions, Lioness and Philanthropists. With the emergence of 7 Sub-Districts, this has now become the Project of all the districts of Multiple District-315, Bangladesh. The Memorandum and Articles of the Association of Bangladesh Lions Foundation was registered under the Societies Act of XXI of 1860 on 6th May 1975.

In 1976, Bangladesh Lions Foundation started its prime project “Lions Eye Hospital” at Mirpur as 20 beded Eye Hospital. During 1977-78, the Foundation raised a net fund of over 2.5 million taka through a Nation Wide lottery with active involvement of Lions National and Leoes of sub districts of Multiple District-315 Bangladesh. Subsequently, Bangladesh Lions Foundation procured a plot of land measuring 2.25 Bighas i.e. 0.74 acres at Agargaon in 1980 and initially constructed a three-storied building, and in early 1984, Bangladesh Lions Foundation constructed the present five storied building of Lions Eye Hospital in its own premises at Begum Rokeya Sarani, Agargaon, Dhaka-1206.

Lions Eye Hospital was upgraded to an Eye Institute in the year 2004. Lions Eye Institute & Hospital is now the proudest project of the Bangladesh Lions Foundation. Other important running projects of the Foundation are Dental Clinic, ENT Clinic, Physiotherapy Clinic, Mother & Child Care Center, and BLF Education Fund Project.
