On January 8, 2025, the club donated ₱20,000.00 to assist with the day-to-day operational needs of the shelter, such as daily meals, monthly groceries, and educational support. More than just a roof over their heads, the Safe Shelter serves as a haven where the women can heal, learn, and rebuild their lives away from the dangers of the red-light district. This marks the fifth project in our ongoing partnership with WET, reflecting Zonta’s sustained commitment to empowering vulnerable women through practical, long-term support.
