Soroptimist International renders service for women and children to live their dreams through their mission ‘Educate, Empower, Enable’.

‘Road to Equality’ is a next step towards gender equality. We will continue to support women and children to overcome obstacles like violence, gender bias issues, and conflict, and strengthen them to live their dreams.

It’s a great honour to take up the position of President of SI Madurai as we step into a hundred years of celebrating service.

As ecologists say, one trillion trees have to be planted in the world in order to reduce the effect of global warming and to fight against climate change, which is a major issue that we are facing now. We will continue doing MIYAWAKI projects and support SIGBI’s theme of ‘PLANTING TREES’ for the centenary celebration.

As we all understand, this is going to be a challenging year because of the COVID pandemic. But even during these unprecedented times, we will still reach out to people and do everything possible to serve them.

I take inspiration from all the past Presidents and assure you that I will work towards the goals of SI. I express my sincere gratitude to all my sisters for giving me this opportunity.

In friendship
Roopa Mahesh,
President,

SI Madurai.
