Clubs choose projects to work on that tackle one of the five Programme Areas identified by Soroptimist International:
- Economic Empowerment
- Education
- Environmental Sustainability
- Food Security and Healthcare
- Violence and Conflict Resolution
All our work is linked to the Sustainable Development Goals whether it’s local, national or international. All projects work towards ending poverty, eradicating hunger, providing education for all and preserving the environment.
Club Members and Associate Members can support their projects by practical and/or financial support, or by Advocacy (lobbying governments and raising awareness of the issue).
As well as supporting their own projects, Clubs and Members also support a number of SI and SIGBI charities and projects.
