Kangaroo Island will play host to a Mother's Day fundraiser, with an aim to provide support to women on the land.
It is one of three events nationally, hosted by Motherland, a national charity formed to support rural mothers.
The charity was formed by 2022 national rural woman of the year winner Stephenie Trethewey, Tasmania.
Tickets to the Kangaroo Island, Goondiwindi, and Spring Ridge events are now on sale, with the local celebrations aimed at furthering Motherland's mission of connecting women on the land and reducing isolation, while raising much needed funds and awareness of the charity's support services.
On May 19 at Parndana, Motherland's South Australian ambassador Marissa Veitch will host celebrations, alongside a panel of local speakers, including mum and empowerment coach Annie Morris, and mum,teacher, and farm owner advocate Meg Cooper.
Motherland Village Program Manager Kate Brow will facilitate the panel.
"The women I have been connected to through my Motherland Village group have expanded my local KI village of supportive friends and family, and together, these villages have been pivotal in shaping the mum I am today," Ms Veitch said.
All proceeds from the Motherland fundraisers will go directly to the charity and enable the organisation to continue to grow its impact including funding more scholarships for rural mums in each of the states who are struggling financially so they can access the Motherland Village program for free.
"Our Mother's Day fundraisers are a testament to the generosity of local businesses, and the community spirit in rural Australia," Ms Trethewey said.
"Motherland is significantly contributing to reducing isolation, improving mental health outcomes, and creating connections for mums on the land, and we simply can't do what we do without the support of fundraisers like these."
Limited tickets to all three Motherland fundraisers are on sale at motherlandaustralia.com.au/events.
