Welcome

History of Soroptimist

 The name Soroptimist was coined from the Latin soror meaning sister, and  optima meaning best. And so Soroptimist is perhaps best interpreted as  ‘the best for women’. 

    

Since the founding of the very first Soroptimist club in Oakland, California in 1921, Soroptimist International (SI) has sought to bring about change in the lives of women and girls worldwide. Through its global network of four Federations and its dedicated volunteer membership of over 75,000, SI is driven by its mission of transforming lives of women and girls through education, empowerment and by enabling opportunities.


Rooted in the vision that women and girls will achieve their individual and collective potential, Soroptimist International's advocacy work and  on-the-ground projects seek to drive the realization of these aspirations and ensure that women and girls have an equal voice in creating strong and peaceful communities, now and in the future.
