We strive for a future in which communities of women are the stronghold of our society. A future in which these communities empower, support and embrace each woman and youth so they can feel at home regardless of their personal background. They unite individuals, create a nurturing space for cultural harmony and mutually respect the nature of diversity.
We believe inclusion, partnerships and collaborative efforts can open dialogues, enrich our communities, promote understanding, drive social transformation and prompt positive change.
OUR VISION:
Inspire every woman to become an agent of positive change.
At SIWA, our focus is on building and leveraging our networks to create collaborative opportunities and a nurturing space where everyone can be a changemaker, an agent of positive impact.
We empower women and youth by providing leadership and volunteering opportunities to share their talents and passions.
We support disadvantaged and marginalized communities by addressing inequalities, providing assistance, allocating resources, and fostering long-term partnerships to achieve sustainable change.
We celebrate diversity and inclusion by uniting people and communities through shared experiences, open dialogue, and collaboration for a common purpose.
We champion arts and cultures as powerful tools for fostering cultural exchange and deepening appreciation for diverse traditions, enriching our communities and promoting cross-cultural understanding.
OUR MISSION:
Cultivate a supportive and inclusive community of women and drive social transformation through dynamic and innovative partnerships and collaborations.
SIWA’s rich history and vibrant culture have shaped our organizational goals and values. We remain committed to championing diversity, inclusion and collaborative partnerships.

The star-shaped “asterisks” symbolizes SIWA’s virtuous circle of positive impact, encapsulating our core values: diversity, inclusion, unity, collaboration, giving, and empowerment.
We will continue this transformative journey with our members, collaborators, and supporters to serve as an agent of change by “Coming Together to Inspire and Empower
