"With each year, the spotlight on women and the need for gender equality burns brighter. I have high(er) hopes for 2017 and the continued drive for not just awareness but action. At MECCA Brands, we are committed to encouraging women and girls to be their own change makers."

We’ve partnered with some of Australia’s leading organisations to develop a unique 12 month program designed to empower extraordinary women and girls to realise their potential through access to funding, mentoring and learning opportunities with industry experts, plus our own specialists at MECCA Brands’ HQ.
Dedicated to empowering young Australians to tackle some of society’s biggest challenges, FYA will identify 5 young female change-makers and philanthropists in their Young Social Pioneers program to attend an intensive MECCA M-Power Bootcamp where they will step-up skills and networks to ensure their ventures have the best shot at success. Each pioneer will also receive one-on-one mentoring time with MECCA Brands’ own in-house specialists to further enrich their expertise. More information on FYA.
