About
Soroptimist International of Kabatangueña
The Soroptimist International Kabatangueña (SIKB), chartered on November 18, 2018, has exemplified the essence of community service and empowerment since its inception. Formed under the leadership of then-President Helen Cifra of Soroptimist International of Batangas Downtown, the club's founding members were a dedicated group of 17 professionals and businesswomen, spearheaded by Charter President Claudette Ambida.

In a relatively short time, SIKB has achieved significant acclaim, notably receiving the award for Most Outstanding Club for 2024-2025. This recognition underscores the club's impactful initiatives and the inspiring leadership of President Sharon, who was also honored as the Most Outstanding President. Her mentorship has been instrumental in establishing a new charter club, SI San Pascual, further extending the Soroptimist mission.
Among the flagship initiatives led by President Sharon is the innovative Soroptimist Mobile Library and Hydroponics Gardening project. This endeavor not only promotes sustainable agricultural practices but also serves as an educational tool, enhancing access to learning resources across the community. The club's commitment to education is further demonstrated through its mentoring of 37 scholars as part of the Live Your Dream Awards (LYDA) and Access to Education (ATE) programs.
Another remarkable project is the "Ate AmiSka" Crochet Doll Keychain initiative. This creative venture merges cultural artistry with empowerment, offering a platform for women and girls to develop new skills, express their creativity, and attain economic independence. The name "AmiSka" is deeply meaningful, combining "Ami" from amigurumi, the Japanese art of crocheting charming yarn creatures, with "iSka," a Filipino slang term for scholar, symbolizing the pursuit of dreams despite challenges.
From its humble beginnings with 17 members, the club has grown to 38, illustrating its dynamic expansion and the members' steadfast dedication to their mission. The story of SIKB is one of resilience, inspiration, and a profound commitment to fostering positive change within the community."
