President Joanne Yeoh is pleased to announce the establishment of the SISEAP Legacy Fund — a permanent, responsibly managed fund created to secure the long-term future of our work across South East Asia and the Pacific.
SISEAP is committed to advancing the status and well-being of women and girls through education, empowerment, and advocacy. Currently, SISEAP relies on member dues to fund its activities. However, administrative and operational costs remain a continual challenge especially with membership challenges we face. Establishing a dedicated fund sourced from donations and bequests will provide a stable, long-term revenue stream to offset these costs.
The Legacy Fund preserves capital and uses investment earnings to support strategic initiatives that empower women and girls for generations to come.
Members and clubs are warmly invited to consider contributing, either through a donation today or by including SISEAP in their Will.
A legacy gift is not about size — it is about ensuring that our mission continues well into the future.
For more information or to make a confidential enquiry, please visit the SISEAP website or contact SISEAP Director, Deborah Wood, director.deborah@siseap.org who is spearheading the SISEAP Legacy Fund.
Together, we are building a future that lasts
