How did we receive an AusAID grant?
The Zonta Birthing Kit Committee applied to the Hon Alexander Downer MP, as the Minister for Foreign Affairs in charge of AusAID, for an appointment to discuss some funding. After receiving his ministerial approval and negotiating a contract with AusAID the project received support on a 1:1 basis to the value of $113,000 in the first year (2004 – 2005) and $200,000 in the 2nd year (2005 – 2006).
