The Circle of Sisterhood is WPI Panhellenic's Philanthropy
Circle of Sisterhood is an organization that provides educational opportunities for women and girls across the world. They do so by helping to fund underprivileged classrooms and providing education regarding female health.
Circle of Sisterhood's mission is to "leverage the collective influence of sorority women to raise financial resources for entities around the world that are removing educational barriers for girls and women facing poverty and oppression."
WPI Panhellenic has made an impact in six countries, including Uganda, Pakistan, Malawi, Niger, Afghanistan, and India. We have helped girls find academic mentors, contributed to a feminine hygiene product fund, and enabled women to enroll in vocational school to help give back to their own community.
