In Aarau, local Soroptimists are addressing a lack of financial literacy with their ‘Finance courses for women’ project, aimed at boosting women’s financial literacy in their community.
The Soroptimists in SI Club Leh ran classes in 2021 helped a group of women aged 27-65 in Pyang to carry out basic tasks such as operating bank accounts, dialling phone numbers, writing numbers and alphabets and signing their names. Through this project, they have been empowered to become self-sufficient and have been able to encourage other women to take part as well.
