Our Purpose

The AWDT harnesses the vast source of untapped potential in New Zealand rural women to address challenges facing rural business, communities & people.

Our programmes actively support women to find solutions for sustainable, thriving communities and NZ as a whole - through business opportunities, community engagement & education.

We take a long-term stake in each woman’s future, standing alongside them to build networks and grow skills. We aim to share our tailor-made resources & partnerships for the greater good.
