Make Friends, Make Memories Make a Difference

The aim of the International Women’s Club of Cape Town is to promote friendship among women of all nations while also giving support to philanthropic projects.

Joining our club means not only do you get to meet an array of intelligent, interesting, and international women here in Cape Town, but there are many tangible benefits as well. Our club creates a framework where members can meet each other while participating in engaging activities and giving back to the community in meaningful ways.  We also have many exciting new initiatives as a club to keep our members connected even during difficult and remote times.

All members get access to fascinating speakers every month as part of their membership for no extra charge: Monthly speakers cover a variety of topics from Artificial Intelligence (IT), The Okavango Delta, (Ecology/Environmentalism), Little Foot & the Bushman (Palaeontology /Anthropology) , Comedian Alan Committie (Humour), The Life of Marjorie Courtney Latimer (Pioneer Curator) The South African Art Market (Art), and Philanthropy projects, to name only a select few.  There is a speaker for everyone’s preferences!

We have a dynamic membership, and our club uses a unique trunk and branch approach to make sure no member gets left behind: the club is divided into geographical areas headed by area representatives who offer local coffee mornings and get-togethers so there is always a member nearby with whom you can meet up for a chat, ask questions about Cape Town, or car-pool to meetings and events.

Members have access to group activities from A – Z (Literally! From Art and Design group to our Zumba dance classes, with many other activities in between!) Some of our popular group offerings include prestigious wine tastings with cellar masters, tours of exclusive gardens, and walking and hiking our beautiful local mountain trails. There is even a Tourist Around Town Group which showcases some of the Mother City’s many highlights.

See our Activities Page to find out more about our offerings.

Our updated monthly newsletter in magazine format that includes all the details of our IWC events.

Lastly, we are truly an international club: We have cultural exchanges, dance parties, cooking classes and lectures from other Open Door clubs in our network, and connect with other clubs from several other continents.
