Educating women and girls empowers them to realise their full potential, achieve financial independence, and pursue lifelong learning.
Education also helps eliminate gender-based illiteracy, foster female leadership, and eradicate violence against women. Recognising its transformative impact, Soroptimist International of Europe implements thousands of projects that promote education and vocational training.

Tutoring offers several key benefits, including personalised learning tailored to individual needs, abilities, and learning paces, which enhances understanding and knowledge retention.

It also provides psychological benefits, boosting learners’ self-confidence, autonomy, and motivation.
