IWCK – People helping people.

International Women`s Club of Kyiv

IWCK brings together people from all over the world for charitable, cultural, and social activities. Our main goals are to support expatriate families in Kyiv and help those in need in the local community. With over 100 members from diverse backgrounds, we offer a welcoming environment for everyone.

We hold monthly General Meetings (both offline and online) to enhance our understanding of Ukraine, discuss our charitable initiatives, and foster social connections. Non-members are welcome to attend one meeting for free to learn more about IWCK.

Memberships support our charity donations and fund ongoing initiatives. As a member, you’ll have the opportunity to volunteer on our Steering Committee, connect with fellow members, and explore a variety of interest groups throughout the year. Visit our events page for details on upcoming General Meetings, interest group activities, and social gatherings.

Charity

As our primary goal is to raise funds for local charities, IWCK is a registered charitable organization in Ukraine. Join our charity projects which give support to those in need in and around Kyiv, especially children, women, the elderly and disabled. This is a vital part of IWCK’s work and now, more than ever before, our charity projects are valued by the local community.

In 2019-2020 IWCK funded many different projects. Learn more about each of them here.

Moving to Kyiv was not an easy decision for me, but IWCK has made my stay a lot more enjoyable for several reasons: I found a group of friends to experience the beauty of Kyiv in a more fun way, I was able to volunteer and join very interesting projects which are developed to help the local community, I had the opportunity to learn a new skill - cooking class. IWCK helped me be part of a great community where I can learn from the members and contribute to the development of the club. I am so grateful to be part the club, it makes me feel like I am at home.

IWCK gave me vital support when my children were young, and I needed to share my thoughts and feelings with other expat mums. I thought that being on the Steering Committee would mean that I was giving something back, but it turns out that, once more, I gained more than I gave.
