Soroptimist International has a strong presence in India, with clubs located in cities such as Kolkata, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. The City of Wyndham, Victoria, also has a vibrant Soroptimist club, which offers numerous opportunities to support women and girls in the diverse community.

Club members have the autonomy to decide on their own projects and initiatives, which can range from providing support for women in refuges and homeless women, to donating items to food banks, pamper packs for refugee women and healthcare workers, and scholarships and bursaries for female students.

In addition to regular meetings, Soroptimist International also holds social functions to bring club members together and further their goals of empowering women and girls.

Soroptimist International has consultative status at the United Nations, solidifying their commitment to making a difference in the lives of women and girls globally.

Support Independent Community Journalism

Dear Reader,

The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.

We operate independently.

Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.

When you support The Indian Sun, you support:

• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers

We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.

If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.

Please consider making a contribution today.

Thank you for your support.

The Indian Sun Team
