Other activities:

provide educational grants for women who demonstrate leadership qualities in local community service;
award grants to local non-profit agencies servicing the interests of women and girls;
ZEDX seminars/webinars to create awareness about issues such as - climate change, gender based violence and violations of women's rights internationally and advocate for change to improve women and girls' lives;
support Zonta International Foundation for Women projects in conjunction with the United Nations to strengthen responses to gender-based violence in PNG and Timor Leste, create education opportunities for vulnerable and excluded children in Madagascar and support the YNFPA-UNICEF global program to eliminate child marriage.

The club is part of Zonta International, a leading global not-for-profit organisation where globally minded individuals connect, collaborate and demand change to build a better world for women and girls by advocating for women's rights, addressing key challenges such as poverty, inequality and violence against women.
