The Zonta Club in Madras/Tamil Nadu province has recently lauched a mobile mammography and ultra sound for rural areas in India. The project website is www.mammomobile.org .

In Tamil Nadu there are about 16000 villages where women are mostly farmer and have a little voice and from a health-care point of view they particularly need better prevention and screening programms for breast and cervical cancer. When some make it to a hospital in town eventually they often come at a very late stage where survival rates are low.

President's Message

Welcome to our web site! The Zonta Club of Houston (ZCH) is an organization of executives and professionals working together to advance the status of women worldwide through education, service, advocacy, and fundraising on the local and international level. Our members are among Zonta International's more than 30,000 members in over 1200 clubs worldwide located in 64 countries. Zonta (www.zonta.org) was founded in Buffalo, New York, USA, in 1919, by a woman entrepreneur One of our earliest members was Amelia Earhart!

ZCH has a 501(c)3 charitable fund: the ZCHECF. The fund's primary purpose is to provide scholarships and support service projects that advance the status of women in the greater Houston area as well as globally through contributions to the Zonta International Foundation. ZCHECF awards $1250 annually to an outstanding local young woman involved in public affairs attending secondary school (Young Woman in Public Affairs Award) and $1250 to an outstanding young woman in business school attending university (Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship). In addition, the members of our club perform hands-on service at several local agencies supporting women.

If you share our purpose and our activities interest you, we would like to meet you! Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month (except for July, August and December). Social hour begins at 5:30 p.m. Dinner starts at 6:00 p.m. See below to register.
