International Soroptimist Osaka was authenticated on June 2nd, 1970, with International Soroptimist Kyoto as a sponsor club, along with International Kobe. It is the fourth soroptimist club in Japan with a history of 53 years.
I would like to continue volunteer activities with club members cherishing “the Heart of Harmony” and succeeding public service project that our predecessors have built since it was chartered.
I will try my best to accomplish the assignment as President wishing Osaka Int’l Soroptimist Club’s further leap and prosperity.
I sincerely hope for your generosity and warm cooperation and support.

President of 2023 Setsuko Mawarido
