PROGRAMME ACTION 2012 – 2013

The Heart of Soroptimism is Programme  Action

During 2012 – 2013   we shall be organising and participating in activities to raise funds for the President’s Charities :-

Internationally:  Life Straws and Shelter Boxes.   

                              MCAI (Maternal and Child Health Advocacy International ) working to extend the Brikama Medical Health Centre in The Gambia to enable women to give birth in an environment which respects their human rights.

Locally:                 Isabel Hospice

                              Ancient Charities of Hertford (supporting vulnerable people)

We shall further serve the local community by continuing our support for:

 The Hertford Disability Support Group

The Living Room in Stevenage

Safer Places (Women’s Refuge)

In addition to collecting for The Living Room and Safer Places, we are going to collect tools and sewing equipment for Tools for Self Reliance and continue to save our pennies for Water Aid, both of which improve the lives of women and girls overseas.

Our goal for this year is to try to become more actively involved with Safer Places.
