Led by President Shirley Licup, the Zonta Club of Greater Rizal II proudly supported the soft launch of KAALO, the inspiring dream project of club member Lin Tan, held on November 21. More than a culinary venture, KAALO is a social enterprise dedicated to preserving the rich heritage of Filipino delicacies while creating sustainable livelihood opportunities for community housewives. Through the production of classic Filipino breads and traditional sweets, the initiative empowers women with meaningful employment, entrepreneurship, and the opportunity to contribute to their families’ economic well-being.
“A Talk on Women’s Rights: From Birth to Legacy” brought together advocates, community leaders, and participants for an inspiring discussion on the lifelong journey of women’s rights and empowerment. The forum emphasized that the protection of women’s rights begins at birth and continues through every stage of life—through access to education, healthcare, equal opportunities, leadership, and economic empowerment—until a woman leaves a lasting legacy for future generations. Speakers highlighted the importance of upholding dignity, equality, and human rights, while encouraging women to become confident leaders, changemakers, and advocates within their families and communities. The event served as a powerful reminder that investing in women’s rights not only transforms individual lives but also strengthens communities, promotes social justice, and contributes to a more inclusive and sustainable future for all.
