Women at their best, working to help other women to be their best
Soroptimist, loosely translated from Latin, means best for women.
​
SIH is committed to improving the lives of women and girls in Hawaii
through economic empowerment, elimination of violence and gender equality.

Soroptimist is a global volunteer organization that provides women
and girls with access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment. Soroptimist was formed in 1921 in Oakland, California, at a time when women were not permitted to join service organizations.
SIH is a part of the Founder Region of Soroptimist International of the Americas,
one of five federations that make up Soroptimist International,
which now has over 75,000 club members in 122 countries.
