BIWA - Bursa International Women's Association

The BURSA INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S ASSOCIATION (BIWA) brings together both, foreign and Turkish women in Bursa, who are interested in cultural exchange. BIWA is a registered non-profit association with no political or religious affiliations. BIWA’s greatest strength is its international identity. We welcome ‘internationally-minded’ women and act by the motto: WELCOME—GROW—GIVE


*WELCOME*
We welcome

newcomers from overseas and help them better adapt to life in Bursa.

*GROW*
We encourage communication and friendship between Turkish and foreign women and children. Also we provide opportunities for personal development.

*GIVE*
We perform local charity and contribute to Bursa and its citizens, especially to other women’s- and children organizations. Among our foreign members, some are expats, others have Turkish husbands and are here on a more "permanent" basis, and some are simply fulfilling a life-long dream to live in Turkey. Most of our Turkish members have either lived overseas or speak a foreign language and are interested in cultural exchange and helping foreign women better adapt to life in Turkey. At BIWA everyone is a volunteer!
