Coming soon: Leiho's first event for International Women's Day 2023

We’re so excited to announce that on the 8th of March, we will be hosting the first edition of our event series to celebrate International Women’s Day! Do Good, Feel Great with Leiho in collaboration with Birdsong, Give Your Best and Pivot; an evening of female connection, empowerment and motivation. 

We will be bringing together a collection of inspirational female leaders of socially or environmentally impactful businesses to celebrate impact-driven female founders.

Joey Li, host for Do Good Feel Good international women's day event

A social enterprise on a mission to empower people who are experiencing homelessness to pivot their lives through the making and enterprise.
