Service Projects

Since its foundation in October 1978, the Zonta Club of Waverley has made a significant contribution to our local community.

By joining with other clubs in our Area and District, we have an impact through programs implemented across Australia. Our regular financial contributions to Zonta International, through our fundraising efforts and donations from the public, allow us to make a difference to the lives of women and their families in other countries of the world.

All local service projects are initiated by Club members. Members choose the service projects they wish to support.
