As I am certain you are aware, Japan is suffering the devastating effects of multiple disasters—earthquake, tsunamis and radiation from malfunctioning nuclear power plants. Soroptimist has set up a special fund to collect donations to assist women and girls following the disaster. These funds will be used to support future projects enabling women and girls to rebuild their lives.
Soroptimist is not an immediate disaster relief organization; however, women and girls in Japan will most certainly need help after immediate needs are met. Soroptimist will be monitoring the situation and may respond earlier if a project is identified to meet women's special health care or safety needs in the upcoming weeks. Please also check the SIA Facebook page for news of the disaster and its specific effects on women and girls.
If you are a Soroptimist member, go to http://www.soroptimist.org/eseries/source/security/site-logon.cfm to make a contribution.
