This is a special mini series featuring this year’s AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award Victorian finalists. 

Through her own experiences as a migrant to Australia, Neha recognised that opportunities are often down to who you know, not what you know. This disadvantage is even more acute for women living in regional areas like Neha’s hometown of Shepparton.

Identifying an opportunity to bridge the gap between those who are seeking to grow and those willing to help them succeed, Neha established The Flamingo Project to create a community of women helping women. Knowing that asking for support may not always be easy for women, the program has no barriers of entry and is free of charge. 

Neha tells us why she applied for the award, what she has learned about herself in the process and the importance of her project.

Let me introduce you to my friend and AgriFutures 2023 Rural Women’s Award Victorian Finalist Neha Samar.
