Advocacy
Zonta advocacy is action taken in "the public interest" of for "the greater good" with respect to empowering women and girls and promoting and protecting their human rights. Here is Cape Girardeau, action is taken on an international, national, and local level.
Service
Zonta not only advocates for women's human rights and gender equality in all facets of life, we also support projects to empower women and girls to understand their rights and realize their full potential.
Education provides the tools and resources to empower women to make decisions about their lives and the future of their families.
Fundraising
Financial support to various organizations and funding for our many service projects is made possible through the generous support of local sponsors and our fundraising efforts. 100% of all funds that are raised are donated to the various service projects we support.
Ever since I joined Zonta, I have been involved in the Financial Literacy classes that Zonta holds in various places. I have always had a passion for financial literacy and I'm glas to be a part of an organization that allows me to use my gift to help others.
Zonta gives me the opportunity to connect with other professional women, who are in a different field than myself. It allows me to support and change our local community for the better. But most important to me, is that it has given me a deeper understanding of the challenges women face around the world and what I can do to help!
I believe in the mission of Zonta, especially our efforts to empower women through service projects and advocacy.
More than five years ago, I made the decision to join Zonta because of the magnificent women I have met and have seen first-hand, they ways we are impacting women locally and around the world. I look forward to remaining a Zontian because there is still so much work to be done. Together, we're stronger and can accomplish great things.
I'm so proud to be a founding member of Zonta. I have met so many wonderful ladies that I would not have met otherwise. I love all the projects that we do; helping so many people. I enjoy being on the service committee and helping with the vo-tech graduation ceremony.
Raising strong women is very important to me. This is why I love Zonta. After all, everyone knows it's the women who get everything done!
Working in a predominately male field, I am humbled by the women acquaintances and friendships I've made through Zonta.
I have been in Zonta for 35 years. Zonta's mission of empowering women through service and advocacy calls to me. We have made an impact both locally and internationally.
