Soroptimist International
Quadrennial Project 2007 –2011
Project Sierra is a four year partnership between Soroptimist International and Hope and Homes for Children which aims to raise over £1 million to transform the lives of some of the most deprived women and children in the world. Hope and Homes for Children work in Central and Eastern Europe and Africa. They believe that every child deserves to grow up within the love of a family and the security of a home, so they can fulfil their potential.
Project Sierra will concentrate on the most alienated and marginalised children and families within Sierra Leonean society.
Project Sierra will help some of the worlds most deprived women and children. By strengthening families at risk of breakdown, helping young children living on the streets return home, and empowering vulnerable young mothers. Project Sierra will enable more children to grow up in a caring family environment – giving them the opportunity to fulfil their potential.
So far our organistaion worldwide have raised £282,500 and there are still more to come.
This is an extract from a letter of thanks that the Regional Manager for Africa Hope and Homes for Children, Joe Glackin, wrote to our organisation recently.
21 April 2009
I am very happy to be able to write to you and thank you for your continued
support for Project SIerra; a Family and a Future. Along with the energy and
enthusiasm that you are clearly committing to the project, the study trip in
February demonstrated the personal commitment many Soroptimists around the
world have to creating a better world for women, families and children. All
of these efforts are together directly transforming the lives of vulnerable
women and children and giving them the means and confidence to plan for a
positive future.
