AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S ASSOCIATION

The American International Women’s Association (AIWA), is a non profit making, Maltese licensed fund raising organization. Women of all nationalities meet together in friendship and to offer help to one another as well as raising funds which are then donated mainly to local Maltese charities and some international organizations when the need arises.

The association was founded in 1969 as the American Women’s Club of Malta. It was established for the purpose of bringing together American women and wives of American citizens for friendship, mutual assistance in settling in Malta and to raise money for Maltese charities.

In September 1984 the Club became the American Women’s Association and women of all nationalities were invited to become members.
In October 1992 the name was changed to American International Women’s Association, a name that embodies both its origins and the international dimension that it had acquired over the years.

Our present membership is around 140 individuals from 20 different nationalities including many Maltese ladies. Most members reside in Malta but members who leave the islands are invited to remain as overseas affiliates.

The dual purpose of the Association remains that of providing friendship and raising money for charity. Activities include social and cultural activities such as morning meetings, tours, lectures, lunches and other social events. Money raised through these activities is donated to various, mostly local, charities including children’s homes on the Maltese Islands.

AIWA is managed by a volunteer board, elected annually by the membership. The administration of the Association is financed by membership dues, so that all funds raised for charitable purposes are passed on to the various recipients.

Our charter remains to provide friendship, support and activities for women of all nationalities and to offer assistance to those less fortunate.
