Our purpose is simple. We bring together women of all ages and nationalities to help celebrate different cultures, expand our viewpoints and build friendships. With over 650 members representing 65 different nationalities, ZIWA is dynamic, very international and most importantly fun!
As a member, you have a wonderful opportunity to make new friends as well as discover and share new interests.

And if you can't find a group that's just perfect for you, then we will even help you to start something new. This unique women's club is up for just about anything!
There's also the chance to make friends at our regular monthly meetings, which normally take place over a meal and often in a very special setting, including Zürich's beautiful Guild Hall, the Opera House, a Fondue boat and even the Zoo! Inspirational guest speakers or a themed event make these meetings really memorable. We encourage all club members to attend.
If you are a newcomer to Switzerland, then ZIWA offers you an invaluable opportunity to learn how to make the most of living in this wonderful country. And as many of our members are Swiss nationals - you're sure to learn some of the best insider tips first hand!
Most of our members also know from experience what it's like to settle into a new city. So they are always willing to help any new arrivals to quickly get over the transition "blues" and really feel at home. Newcomer Meetings, created especially to help connect new ZIWA members have become "famous" for the lasting friendships that usually result.
