About IWG Tunis

Tunis
Welcome to IWG Tunis! The IWG (International Women's Group), Tunis, is a non-profit organisation for women from around the world, presently residing in Tunisia. Its easy, multicultural atmosphere attracts expat ladies to join the group. We share and enjoy good moments together. We have currently more than two hundred members from 43 countries. The focus of the IWG is to help the expat ladies to settle down in Tunis and feel at home. To achieve this, we have set up many activity groups within the IWG. It enables members to participate in small group activities of their own interest, and share experiences and information about Tunisia and their own nations with other members. Our activities are highlighted by the monthly IWG Coffee Mornings which offer a great opportunity to the members to make friends and explore their new home away from home. Members of the IWG actively participate in charity activities, and organize fund-raising bazaars in spring and winter. The funds raised through these are donated to different Tunisian charities to meet some of their financial needs.

IWG Tunis Update (2013APR1)




IWG Update


Dear Ladies,                                                                                                                                                

Beginning of April, when many places in the world anxiously waiting for 
the arrival of new spring, we are already happily enjoying our wonderful 
middle spring time in our beautiful host country - Tunisia. Spring does 
not allow us to talk only - she wants us to feel her.                                                                                                                                                                            
                                                                                                                      
To share this beautiful spring time with everybody, I am taking this 
opportunity to present our IWG April events schedule and some local 
cultural events taking place in Tunis.
