Soroptimists help women gain the resources and skills needed to secure gainful employment or start their own businesses.

Through projects conducted in partnership with micro-credit organisations, companies, and other institutions, we support women’s economic independence and entrepreneurship. Special attention is given to women in rural areas trapped in cycles of poverty and burdened by time-consuming, menial tasks. To address these challenges, our economic empowerment projects extend to remote rural areas to build wells to reduce the time women spend fetching water or offer training to help them increase crop yields and successfully market their produce.

By combining practical support with long-term opportunities, Soroptimists empower women to take control of their economic future.
