Programme Focus Reports (PFRs)

A PFR is a report that a Union or club can submit to inform members about a project that has just started, that is being implemented or that has already been completed in order to share projects and ideas with Soroptimists all around the world.

Unions and clubs can report their awareness, advocacy and action activities on Programme Focus Reports and upload them onto the website using the Soroptimist International online reporting system at : www.reports.soroptimistinternational.org
(please email Suba@soroptimisteurope.org to obtain the username and password)
