  Safe Harbor  
  Safe Harbor is a house in the City of Simi Valley where law enforcement on the east side of the county can take a victim instead of taking them to the police station. For a victim already traumatized by the event, the station or a hospital can be a very scary place. Here, rape and molestation victims can tell what happened to them in a single interview with law enforcement and medical and legal professionals in a homelike setting. It is a multi-disciplinary Center, where all of the entities involved in the situation meet, discuss and make decisions on the direction of the case. The majority are women and girls. Providing a warm, comfortable environment for victims of crime is so important, and being able to support them at such a traumatic time is a benefit at Safe Harbor.

Disaster Fund

The funds raised through voluntary contributions by clubs within the Region are used to help both Soroptimists within our Region and in other Regions who have suffered the effects of a natural disaster.

Service Fund

The money in this fund is used to award Violet Richardson and Women’s Opportunity Awards at the Region level. Clubs make voluntary donations to this fund so that the Region can give monetary awards at each Spring Conference.

Women’s Heart Health

The Region’s focus for the next 2 years is the issue of heart disease and women. Heart disease is the number one killer of women in America and heart disease kills more women annually than all forms of cancer combined. This focus on heart disease encourages the Soroptimist clubs of Camino Real Region to adopt heart health awareness as an educational and informational service  for themselves and their communities, thus saving lives.

Women’s Opportunity Awards

Soroptimist address the economic component that often forces women to stay in abusive situations – and the lack of resources available to these women once they do leave – through its Women’s Opportunity Awards program. This program provides cash grants to women who must obtain additional job training or education to realize their goal of economic independence. Each year more than $800,000 is awarded through this program.

Disaster Relief Program

Destructions cause immeasurable hardships for everyone involved, but research shows that women suffer disproportionately during and after disasters. Donations made to this program go towards helping women and children after a disaster has occurred.

u

After the 9/11 tragedy, Soroptimists donated About $84,000 to 4 domestic violence agencies in New York City.

u

For the one year anniversary of the Tsunami disaster of 2005, Soroptimists distributed $130,000 in disaster relief funds.

u

Following Hurricane Katrina Soroptimist International of America made a $10,000 disaster relief donation to the Louisiana Coalition against Domestic Violence so that they could continue to help women with the basic needs such as food, diapers, clothing and prescriptions. In addition, the group, which lost three shelters and closed four others due to the hurricanes and floods, relocated domestic violence victims who were staying at shelters prior to Katrina.
