Women Helping Women
Helping others can make you happy and keep you healthy throughout your lifetime. For less than the cost of a cup of coffee a week you can help make a difference to women and girls by getting involved with local, national or international projects to educate, empower and enable women and girls to achieve their full potential.
The name Soroptimist was coined from the Latin soror meaning sister, and optima meaning best. So Soroptimist is perhaps best interpreted as 'the best for women'. Founded in 1921, we are a global volunteer movement with a network of around 66,000 members in 120 countries. Advocating for human rights and gender equality, at the heart of our work is advocacy work across seven UN Centres, where our UN representatives ensure that the voices of women and girls are heard. We also work on grassroots projects that help local women and girls achieve their individual and collective potential, realise aspirations and have an equal voice in communities worldwide.
If you are you interested in helping to empower women and would like to join our team on the North Shore we will make you very welcome. We offer training and empowerment to our team as well as the ability to utilise our worldwide network or Soroptimist members.
