Project Womn Inc. was established in 2020 by three friends – Amanda Yong, Ning Lai and Jewel Tan in Perth, Western Australia.
A surge of domestic violence reports in Western Australia during the initial nationwide Covid-19 lockdown was the primary catalyst for the Project Womn initiative. With the goal of raising funds to support local charities that assist victims of domestic violence, Amanda, Ning and Jewel launched their inaugural pop-up food and wine pairing dinner, highlighting the best of WA’s produce and wine.
This initial event was a resounding success, and the beginning of a series of similar fundraising functions, each supporting a different local charity that offers assistance to women, children, or families in need.
