Soroptimist International (SI)

Cementing Futures was established by members of SI Bournemouth who, as a club, have over seventy years experience of fund-raising, lobbying and service to the community both at home and overseas.

SI is an international women’s organisation which has vast experience of managing projects of a large magnitude as well as lobbying governments and supporting NGOs (non-governmental organisations) throughout the world.

Nijera Shikhi

Literally speaking Nijera Shikhi translates as 'Let's Teach Ourselves'

Nijera Shikhi is an NGO that was founded by British Methodist Church Minister, the late Rev. John P Hastings, who had lengthy experience working with the poor and disadvantaged communities in India and Bangladesh.

SI Bournemouth and SI Dhaka in Bangladesh are now working in partnership with Nijera Shikhi to ensure the improvement of education facilities and access to education in poverty stricken communities. The project is being run by the Cementing Futures Charity.
