The Soroptimist International is a fantastic organization which really does help women who can't help themselves. They offer working mother scholarships which help moms go to college or school that ordinaryly could not pay for such a large expense. This is really a good organization that is 100% doing what they are say they are going to do. Women are being looked over in our society and people need to help them any way they can, especially if they want an education to better themselves. This is a god given right today! The Soroptimist scholarship is truely a blessing for women in our world and divine inspired.
