OUR IMPACT

Don't be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality. If you can dream it, you can make it so. — Belva Davis

When we dare to dream for women and girls, amazing things can happen. They go forward with courage to do great things for themselves, their families, communities and the world. Here, you'll discover how our collective efforts of time, talent and treasure have made a real difference in the lives of women and girls all over the world. Their stories continue to inspire and amaze us!

Our programs are the heart of our mission and work, and they continue to empower women and girls everywhere to live their dreams. In 2010-2011, clubs disbursed more than $1.5 million in education grants, benefiting 1,221 women through Women’s Opportunity Awards, our cornerstone program. Funding increased by $81,270 (5.5 percent) and recipients increased by 20 (2 percent). The Women’s Opportunity Awards enjoy a 75 percent participation rate. Progress also was made through the other SIA programs and projects, including raising awareness about sex slavery and the approval of an anti-prostitution resolution. In total, $2,229,354 was disbursed both directly and through our clubs, benefiting 7,638 women, who are now on their way to better lives.
