Each year on Human Rights Day the SI President launches an appeal that serves the Soroptimist mission of educating, empowering and enabling women and girls. This year’s Appeal is for Birthing in the Pacific, reducing maternal mortality in Papua New Guinea. Swindon Soroptimists raised money for this appeal at our Christmas Dinner – a total of £136.35 was collected which will help to provide training and equipment for health professionals and volunteer birth attendants, in Papua New Guinea.
