Our Mission
Zonta International is a leading global organization of professionals empowering women worldwide through service and advocacy.
Our Vision
Zonta International envisions a world in which women’s rights are recognized as human rights and every woman is able to achieve her full potential. In such a world, women have access to all resources and are represented in decision-making positions on an equal basis with men. In such a world, no woman lives in fear of violence.
What We Do
LOCAL ACTION
Collectively the Zonta Club of Niagara Falls has raised over $600,000 to support many programs and projects to help women in our local community.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS
We are very proud to provide annual scholarships to women in Niagara.
SERVICE PROJECTS
Along with the Zonta Club of St. Catharines, our chapter puts together birthing kits. Birthing kits provide essential items to promote a safe, clean delivery and to encourage good aftercare.
Global Impact
CLIMATE EMPOWER
Emerging evidence shows the direct and indirect impacts of climate change on women and girls and their sexual and reproductive health and rights.
ENDING CHILD MARRIAGE
Globally, one in every five girls is formally married or in an informal union before reaching 18 years of age. Health crises, conflicts and climate change are increasing the risks of child marriage for millions of girls worldwide.
LAAHA: A VIRTUAL SAFE SPACE FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS
Laaha, the first-ever digital web-based platform created by UNICEF with women and girls from crisis-affected regions, strives to increase knowledge on gender-based violence (GBV) and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) through quality and accurate information
