Zonta International Central Coast Branch Ball

The Central Coast Branch of Zonta International is having a ball to raise funds to purchase birthing kits to send women in under developing countries such as Afghanistan with the help of other volunteers, in which usually� 4000 kits are assembled every year. They consist of a small plastic sheet of plastic,a simple blade for cutting the umbilical cord, 3 pieces of cotton string for tying the umbilical cord, 5 antiseptic swabs and a small cake of soap. The result of supplying these kits has a huge impact on the mortality rate of Mothers and babies in these countries. The cost of the birthing kits is $2 per kit of which $1 goes to educating the women who will use the kits and a $1 to assemble and transport the kits. The Opshop Ball is one of the main annual fund raisers and apart from the birthing kits, Zonta undertake many other initiatives both locally and internationally. The objectives of Zonta are to improve the legal,political,economic,educational,health and professional status of Women at the global and local level through service and advocacy. The Central Coast Branch of Zonta is holding its annual ball on 26th May at the Avoca SLSC. Boydita Flowers Delivered is proud to donate� a gift voucher for the Ball to help raise much needed funds.
