Geet’s drive to assist

Tarneit woman Geetanjali (Geet) Gaba says that her passion is helping other people.

Ms Gaba is founder and president of the not-for-profit Australian Multicultural Women Association (AMWA) and also hosts a weekly show on A1 TV.

Ms Gaba said AMWA aims to help groups and multicultural women with free assistance on topics such as building a career, starting a business, interviews and resumes.

The association, which is run by Ms Gaba along with volunteers from Australian, Indian and Pakistani backgrounds, is also connected to registered training organisations.

As well, AMWA directs women experiencing family violence to support services.

Ms Gaba that she grew up watching her father, a community support worker who also runs a newspaper in India, helping other people.

She said that in her owner career as a trainer, she often assisted students with questions on the matters that AMWA helps with.

“I love helping people, to be very frank it is my passion,” she said.

Ms Gaba that she began hosting her community support program, Let’s Do It With Geet, last year.

The show, which airs at 8.30pm on Tuesdays, has become a “real hit” on A1 TV, a south-Asian community channel available on satellite, social media, YouTube and an app.

The channel has more than 108,000 followers on Facebook.

Ms Gaba said that at the moment, the show was providing information about COVID-19 to its viewers.

“At the moment we are fully focusing on getting back to normal,” she said.
