Nurturing mothers and empowering communities for safe pregnancies

The Zonta Club of Laguna, Philippines, successfully conducted its 14th Buntis Fair on 4 March at the Zonta Lingap Center, Biñan City, dedicated to promoting safe pregnancies and empowering expectant mothers.

The program opened with prenatal checkups and breakfast, ensuring that mothers received immediate care and nourishment. This was followed by messages and sessions designed to equip mothers with essential knowledge for a healthy pregnancy.

Key discussions included “Wastong Nutrisyon sa Buntis,” “Strong Moms, Healthy Babies,” and “Gentle Exercises for a Healthy Pregnancy,” providing practical guidance on maternal health, proper nutrition and overall well-being. The event concluded with the distribution of food, tokens and maternal support items, providing care and encouragement to all participants.

This initiative was made possible through the strong collaboration of its valued partners, including St. Michael’s College of Laguna, SMCL Foundation Inc., Z and Golden Z Clubs, MOB Foundation, Biñan City Health Office, Biñan Doctors’ Hospital, and the Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society.

Led by Club President Cong. Ann Matibag and Buntis Fair Chair Pinky Manuel, the Buntis Fair remains a legacy initiative that has reached thousands of pregnant women over the years, creating healthier mothers, safer pregnancies and stronger communities.
