We're excited to announce our third Change Maker Series of conversations with significant leaders making a difference for women in our society.

On the morning of Thursday 13 October, you're invited to breakfast at The Sanctuary, Adelaide Zoo as our Change Maker panellists discuss the importance of financial independence and economic empowerment in breaking the cycle of family and domestic violence.

As we all work together to close the gender pay gap, advance gender equality and ensure that finances are no barrier to women leaving abusive relationships this will be an essential event to learn how you and your organisation can be a part of the solution, as well as raising money for our vital services and programs.

Zahra Foundation proudly presents our Change Maker Breakfast Series where we can make a difference together.

Get a group of work colleagues or friends, male and female and join us at The Sanctuary @ Adelaide Zoo and become a Change Maker.
