Message from the Newly Appointed President
Soroptimist Osaka was sponsored by Soroptimist Kyoto in 1970 and is a club with a proud history, celebrating its 55th anniversary this year.
The ｐredecessors of our club have long been dedicated to contributing to the local community, working to improve the lives, status, and education of women and girls. By uniting our efforts, we have built strong bonds and expanded our circle of service through ongoing activities.
In recent years, we have faced a wide range of unexpected issues both domestically and internationally, including changes in social conditions and natural disasters, which have had a significant impact on our society.
With a global perspective, it is of great importance that we support women and girls facing difficulties, and continue to promote sustainable service activities to realize a bright and hopeful future. Fulfilling this mission is a profound responsibility.
Although it may be difficult to carry out such service alone, I hope to continue these efforts together with all members, each contributing in their own way, with pride in being a Soroptimist.
I sincerely ask for your continued support and cooperation.

2025 President
Taeko Sakamoto
