With your help, SICI continues to create opportunities for young women and girls in the greater Channel Islands community. Our August highlights featured Lucinda Connelly and Brooke Stephens representing SICI at Soroptimist Oxnard’s 80th anniversary celebration followed by our annual day of volunteering with James Storehouse’s back to school event. This month, we’re gearing up for what is going to be a very exciting Fall at SICI, highlighted by our 2nd Annual Barbie Event!

Millions of women and girls worldwide lack access to affordable period products, causing them to miss work or school and limiting their opportunities.
