​MISSION AND HISTORY

Kolkata International Women’s Club was founded in 2002 by a group of international women living in Kolkata.

 

KIWC has a constitution and a bank account.

 

We have a committee consisting of : President; Vice President; Treasurer; Secretary; Charities Team Head; Design & Marketing Team Head; Book Club Leader and Travel Club Leader. We are in the process of pursuing formal registration as a not-for-profit organization. We are not-for-profit, non-sectarian and non-political.

 

The aims of the club are:

  • To provide working and non-working international passport holding women in Kolkata with information, practical and moral support and opportunities for social connectivity.

  • To foster friendship and understanding between ourselves and the local community.

  • To contribute in a charitable way to any needy cause agreed upon by the members.

We achieve our aims through:

  • Monthly meetings with guest speakers (topics include local and national culture)

  • Social events open to members and non members (many to raise money for charity e.g. Monsoon Ball, Christmas Bazaar, Tambola Charity Fundraiser)

  • Trips and visits to cultural places of interest. Recent trips include - Shantiniketan, the Marble Palace and a walking tour of old Calcutta

  • Website, Facebook Page for members only, Instagram (Follow us @kolkataexpatwomen)

  • Email and Whatsapp group for sharing information and requests for information 

  • Committee members visiting charities to ascertain creditability and matching against our selection criteria

  • YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU - We are always looking for volunteers to help run the club and keep it going as people leave when they relocate.  Please get in touch if you are a member interested in volunteering
