Welcome to the British Women’s Association, Jakarta!
Welcome to the British Women’s Association (BWA) of Jakarta!
The BWA is a non-profit organisation, established 4th May 1970 to offer support and friendship to ex-pat women living in Jakarta. BWA is run entirely by members on a voluntary basis and you can get a lot of satisfaction from getting involved. Helping out on the committee or helping to organise an event or activity is a great way to put your skills to good use. If you want a total break from any responsibility and simply to enjoy being a lady of leisure we can help you with that too, with our fun activities and groups.
The BWA is open to all nationalities, and at our house in Kemang we offer our members a variety of activities and clubs, weekly coffee mornings, lunches, Playgroups, quiz and social nights and so much more. In addition BWA raises significant funds to support local charities through an annual Fashion Show, biannual bazaars, ladies golf tournaments and other social events.
While the Main Committee takes care of the day to day running of the house and activities as well as organising the fundraising events to support our charity group we also have a Newcomers Team to help you when you first move to Jakarta. When you feel at home and want to get more involved in BWA we have a very active Social Welfare Group supporting a variety of local charities.
BWA HOUSE We have a house in Kemang where most of our daily activities and social evenings take place. The house is open to members on weekdays from 9am so why not join one of our social activities, drop by for coffee, lunch, use our wireless internet or, if like me you have not moved onto an e-reader yet, borrow a book from our extensive and varied library.
TUESDAY COFFEE MORNINGS We have an informal coffee morning every Tuesday, if you have just arrived in Jakarta, there is always someone there to chat to and often we have local vendors. On the first Tuesday of every month from 10am we have a special coffee morning with a guest speaker, raffle and door prizes, excellent company and refreshments, so why not join us for one of these fun mornings?
SOCIAL WELFARE GROUP BWA is a charitable organisation that tries to make a difference. At present our social welfare group provides funds for several charities on a regular monthly basis - focusing mainly on education, health, children, the elderly and disabled. In addition we also support one-off and emergency relief projects. If you would like to help in any way they are always looking for volunteers.
GRAPEVINE NEWSLETTER We are very proud of our Grapevine Newsletter. This is now an online newsletter, but we also publish several copies, available to purchase at BWA House, should you prefer a hard copy. As well as interesting articles on a huge variety of subjects written mainly by our members, Grapevine also contains information on upcoming events as well as featuring articles on all our Loyal Society social events and BWA evenings- with lots of colour photographs. Members are encouraged to send articles in – why not have a go at writing a short story or write about an interesting trip? Send in restaurant reviews, book reviews or just tips about interesting finds.
