10th December, Human Rights Day is traditionally the day Soroptimists join together to show their support for the SI President's Appeal. Between now and the 10th of December, SI will be sharing news from the Appeal projects in Malaysia, Bulgaria, Kenya, and Indonesia, and we would love to hear your news too! If you are holding an activity or fundraising event for the SI President's Appeal please tell us all about it and share your activities and photographs with us on Twitter and Facebook, using the hashtag #WWLSoroptimist.
Let's join together as one voice, to empower women, girls, and communities!
Find out more by watching a video message from SI President Mariet Verhoef-Cohen.
