At the heart of rural communities

Strengthening, Supporting and Connecting

Rural Women New Zealand has provided connection, support, and given a voice to rural women, their families and communities across Aotearoa for nearly 100 years. Our members are the backbone of our connection with New Zealand’s rural communities, with regional branches across the country. Some groups meet for networking and friendship, while others are focused on education and facilitate training days and workshops. Meanwhile, at a national level we are sought after and recognised as a go to place for rural connection and representation.
