International Women’s Association celebrates 30 years, plans charity gala

The IWA was set up in 1978 by the wife of the US Cultural Attache in Romania, Evelyn Zivetz.
Nowadays, it has 200 members, both of Romanian and foreign extraction, and since 2000 it has run 200 charitable projects to which the organization donated more than EUR 800,000. Last year, the IWA ran 37 projects with the support of other Romanian or international NGOs.
Access to the charitable gala is by ticket or invitation only and the proceeds from the event will be used for the charitable projects selected at the beginning of the year.
One project run in collaboration with Sense International Romania will support the acquisition of equipment for the maternity section of the Cantacuzino Hospital. Another project that the organization is keen on supporting together with Romania International Children Foundation is the renovation and donation of equipment for Acasa orphanage. Another project focuses on the renovation of an elementary school with the help of Valentina Association.
