Home. Hope. Horizon. A Charity Luncheon. - Karinya House

Women who are pregnant and parenting experience higher rates of domestic and family violence, homelessness and poverty than almost any other cohort. This has impacts for women, their babies and children, our Canberra community and for generations to come. But pregnancy can also be a time of hope and change.

For over 26 years, Karinya House has had the privilege of walking alongside women who are experiencing crises, before, during and after pregnancy. Providing safe housing, health advice, casework, counselling, trauma services, baby goods and much more – we have supported over 2,500 women in Canberra since we began.

This unique charity event is inspired by 26 powerful years of resilience and strength.

It is wonderful to confirm that Jo Farrell, ACT Australian of the Year, ACT Woman of the Year and founder of Build Like A Girl, will be our keynote speaker. We thank Jo also for her support…
