Sustainability
Soroptimists are working to achieve greater environmental sustainability at local, national and international levels.
A sustainable environment is essential for the well-being and empowerment of women. We initiate projects that improve the environment while addressing the specific needs of women and girls in their communities. Our work includes mitigating the effects of climate change and providing aid after natural or man-made disasters.
In addition to these hands-on initiatives, we actively advocate for greater environmental sustainability at local, national, and international levels.

FREE TUTORING
The Soroptimists of Lisboa Caravela are championing access to quality education in Portugal through an innovative tutoring program aimed at empowering students. Tutoring offers several key benefits, including personalised learning tailored to individual needs, abilities, and learning paces, which enhances understanding and knowledge retention. Additionally, tutoring can significantly reduce failure and dropout rates by maintaining student engagement and overcoming obstacles. It also provides psychological benefits, boosting learners’ self-confidence, autonomy, and motivation.
