About AWA

The American Women's Association of Indonesia is an organization established and maintained especially for you, our Member. The AWA has been in existence in Indonesia for over fifty years. First established in the mid-1950s, our membership remains strong in numbers.  Since then, the AWA has grown into a vibrant organization that connects more than 200 women with a supportive network of fellow expatriates, cultural integration, charitable works and of course, plenty of fun activities!  We are proud to serve the expatriate community and we welcome newcomers of every nationality. 

 

Our goal is to give financial assistance to social welfare and/or socioeconomic projects in Indonesia, to foster feelings of fellowship among its members, to further interest in Indonesian cultural activities and to conduct activities of interest to citizens of the United States and others residing in Indonesia.

Through our Social Welfare Committee we support a great deal of worthwhile projects in Indonesia each year.  Funds are raised from various fund-raising activities such as our annual signature events, "Margaritaville" and "Bourbon Street Bash", along with our shopping bazaars and gala events. In addition, funds are raised from the sale of our many publications - books that are invaluable to the new (and not so new) to Jakarta.  These resources are chockfull of insightful information to help you settle into Jakarta.  Our network of friendship and fun will keep you "in the know" and connected to your new community.
