href=\"http:\/\/www.toilettwinning.org\">toilettwinning.org<\/a> to bestow Toilet Twinned\u00a0 status on the City of Chester &#8211; the<a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/chester\/previous-project-work\/toilet-twinning-in-chester-2\/\"> first UK city<\/a> to achieve this &#8211; by encouraging local organisations, schools, businesses and churches to twin their loo.<\/li>\n<li>We donated \u00a3300 worth of high street vouchers to <a href=\"http:\/\/cath.org.uk\/\">Chester Aid for the Homeless <\/a>so that they could provide female clients with an opportunity to purchase new underwear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Soroptimist International members also use the power of their global network to work on joint projects and these are generally

more economical and environmentally sustainable alternatives to traditional stoves);<\/li>\n<li><em>solar lanterns <\/em>(to extend study time for school children and to provide light in refugee camps);<\/li>\n<li><em>solar panels<\/em> to a school.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This project was mediated by local Soroptimist Clubs, which ensured strong, local governance.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more and how
