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 four federations that make up Soroptimist International,

which now has over 75,000 club members in 122 countries.
