Zonta Club of Makati & Environs

The Zonta Club of Makati was chartered with 22 members on April 26, 1971 by then Zonta International President Leota Pektul. Today, there are 71 members representing diverse classifications and one honorary member. The club is a member of Zonta International, a global organization of professionals and executives working together to advance the status of women worldwide through service and advocacy. The club was incorporated as a non-stock, non-profit foundation in June 1983 and accredited as a Donee Institution by the Philippine Council for NGO Certification on October 4, 2004, following the Club’s compliance with the latter’s stringent requirements.
