SI to Host Webinar on UN International Day of Education (January 24)
In honor of the United Nations-declared International Day of Education on January 24, SI invites Soroptimists from around the world to attend a special webinar, “Prioritizing Education: Empowering Women and Girls,” to showcase key education projects from each of our five federations.
As Soroptimists, we know education is the key to women's empowerment. Ensuring girls have access to quality education is a way to provide them a lifeline when they need it most. In addition to giving them strengthened hope for the future, education also provides consistency, a sense of normalcy, and even physical safety in some cases.
