The majority of
Soroptimists work is to help improve the lives of
women and girls in local communities and throughout the world.
Almost 90,000 Soroptimists in over 3000 clubs in more than 124
countries contribute time and financial support to community–based
and international projects that benefit women and girls.
Soroptimist members belong to local clubs, which
determine the
focus of volunteer work in their communities. We call our voluntary
work "Programme Action". Programme Action is the reason for
being a Soroptimist. It reflects the Vision and the Mission of
Soroptimist International.
