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 (2014MAY05)



IWG Tunis Update

Dear Ladies,

It is thrilled to see so many responses to the IWG Membership Survey. Thank you so much to those who have submitted completed survey! Also, many thanks to those ladies who asked questions. Please forgive me for not responding each individual survey personally. As there are so many emails with different questions, I have to answer them publicly so that all members who have or might have the same questions could profit with the answers. 

At moment, Nicole is working hard to go through each survey to install your photo and name on an excel spreadsheet. After this step is completed, Angela will process next step with a print house. You will receive an email from IWG to tell you when and where to pick up your card and pay once your card is ready. Since IWG Tunis will have a summer break after June 25. To those ladies who plan to travel during summer time, you will receive your card after your return to Tunis. Please notify IWG on "iwgtunis@hotmail.co.uk" once you are back to arrange time for picking up. IWG membership card will be officially used for IWG's events as of September 2014. To those ladies who have not completed your survey, it is still not too late to take actions now. Thank you for your understanding and support!
