The Woman of the Month (WOM) initiative was established in January 2007 at Café Salsa, next to CITC Pharmacy. The first recipient was Mrs. Mereana Taikoko of Matavera, honored for her dedicated work with the disabled community. Since then, they have recognized 206 women from all walks of life across Rarotonga and the Southern Group Islands as recipients of the Woman of the Month award.

Each month, they celebrate the outstanding achievements and contributions of women in our community, shining a spotlight on their efforts and inspiring future generations. However, to continue this impactful work, they need your support.

They are now seeking sponsorship for prizes for the Woman of the Month nominees. Contributions can be in the form of vouchers or monetary donations on a monthly basis. By sponsoring these prizes, you will not only help them recognize and reward these incredible women, but also ensure that their vision and mission continue to thrive, empowering Cook Islands women for generations to come.

Join in by celebrating the strength and achievements of our women. Your sponsorship will make a significant difference. If you would like to contribute, please contact Nga Teao via email on [email protected]. Let's work together to keep the legacy of women of the month alive and strong.
