Soroptimist International of Brea/La Habra
A global volunteer organization to improve the lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowerment.
Investing in Dreams
Soroptimist means “Best for Women” and that is what we strive to be, and as professional and business women, we feel we are definitely qualified to help women and girls reach their goals and live their dreams.
Although both men and women live in poverty and face discrimination, throughout the world it is women and girls who face additional obstacles and discrimination simply because they are female.
Soroptimist work together to empower and educate women and girls, helping them to achieve their goals and a higher quality of life for themselves and their families.
