Welcome to Zonta Club of Caboolture
Zonta Club of Caboolture
|
Zonta Club of Caboolture is a group of like-minded individuals gathering together to serve women and girls in our local and international communities. We were chartered in 1993 and celebrated our 30th anniversary on 5 August 2023. Today the Zonta Club of Caboolture has 21 members. Our club welcomes new members who are passionate about making a difference and want to contribute to making a better life for women and girls in Caboolture, Australia and international communities.
Making a difference for women and girls
We strive, as members of Zonta Club of Caboolture, to make a difference to the lives of women and girls in our local region and beyond. We do this in a number of ways. Our service projects support and improve the lives of women and girls, for example, by making and supplying birthing kits. We advocate to build awareness, educate, empower and change negative attitudes and barriers, including laws, that work against women and girls. Our events assist us to fund our service projects. Club members enjoy community and friendship (and the Zonta Spirit), as we work together to make a difference for women and girls.
