Soroptimist Live Your Dream Award
Did you know that in 1948, the United Nations declared basic education to be a fundamental human right? Despite that, 16 percent of the world’s population lacks basic literacy skills – two-thirds of them are women. Did you know that lack of education increases a woman’s chances of living in poverty, being affected by violence, becoming infected with HIV/AIDS and dying in childbirth? Find out how Soroptimist is tackling these and many other issues by providing support to women through the Live Your Dream Award.
