Yesterday saw the official launch of the SOZO machine at Whakatāne Hospital.

This essential Lymphoedema assessment machine has been funded by the 2023 Eastern Bay Womens Impact Fund and the Rotary clubs of Whakatane and Kawerau and will make a real difference for people in our community.

It was great to see people working together to get essential medical equipment for our region.

 

The Eastern Bay Womens Impact Fund is a women's collective giving circle, committed to enabling transformative change in the Eastern Bay of Plenty region.

It is a group of women coming together with a powerful shared purpose: committed to improving the future of the region.

 

In 2023 the Eastern Bay Womens Impact Fund committed $21,500 towards the installation of a SOZO Lymphoedema treatment machine and $21,500 towards the building of an ablution block at EBOP Riding for the Disabled.

In 2022 the Eastern Bay Womens impact Fund helped to fund Plunket setup a womens postnatal mental health support, supporting mums,babies and families in our community.
