About
BPW Kaitaia was founded in 1988 and has a history of being involved in our community to promote and advocate for women and girls in our community.
We support events throughout the year and have run events to support Elections, both national and local prior to elections. We have also run “Movie Fundraisers” for our scholarship.
We currently have projects on the go including:
– Providing donations to support our local Women’s Refuge
– Making sustainable sanitary products for girls in our community and in the Pacific Islands to enable girls to attend school when they are menstruating. (Days for Girls)
– Sharon Rider Memorial Scholarship for a Kaitaia College female student studying for a trade.
We have a range of guest speakers at our monthly meeting to keep us informed of local matters and areas of interest to women.
BPW Kaitaia Dinner Meeting every 3rd Tuesday of each month at the Orana Motel, 238 Commerce Street, Kaitaia at 5:30pm. Cost $29.00
Please contact Pam Dawson (408 0556 or 021 162 1492) to book.
