Members of the Country Women’s Association’s Woy Woy branch have handcrafted an applique quilt valued at $1,200 to help fundraise for refugee women who are victims of domestic violence.
The fundraiser raffle will be held after a special screening of Rosemary’s Way at Avoca Beach Picture Theatre on March 19.
Funds will go towards the CWA NSW and Rosemary Kariuki (2021 Australian of the Year Local Hero) who connects refugee and migrant women who are socially isolated or victims of domestic and family violence.
She is known as ‘Mama Africa’ by the thousands of women and families that she has assisted throughout the years after escaping domestic abuse and ethnic conflicts herself.
Killcare business Alira Hair has also donated $100 worth of vouchers for products or services for a lucky raffle winner.
Other prizes include a two night stay at Emerald Downs near Port Macquarie and a hamper of CWA handmade goodies.
The $2 raffle tickets can be purchased at your closest CWA branch.
