Education and Leadership - Soroptimists make a difference across the world

Soroptimist clubs across the world are committed to a world where women and girls together achieve their individual and collective potential, realise aspirations and have an equal voice in creating strong, peaceful communities globally.

Soroptimists Educate, Enable and Empower by providing opportunities for women. Education prepares women and girls to plan for their future, allow for their economic growth and open doors to fulfil their dreams. Educate a women and you educate a whole family. Every year Soroptimists clubs from SA provide awards, prizes and scholarships for women to continue their education.
