IWCK is a non-governmental, non-profit organization founded in 1992 by a group of foreign ladies headed by H.E. Ms Ingabor Kristofassen, the first Ambassador of Belgium to Ukraine and the first president of IWCK. At the moment, our organization has more than 370 members from 59 countries. They are: representatives of the diplomatic corps accredited in Ukraine, women coming from cultural and business communities and wives of diplomats and businessman. Since the beginning a main aspect of IWCK members’ activity is charity support for the benefit of senior healthcare centers, children’s homes, schools, hospitals and associations for the protection of women and children in Ukraine. Our mission: - to give annual grants to Ukrainian non-governmental organizations that serve IWCK’s target beneficiaries, namely: women, children, elderly and disabled; - to improve the lives of Kyiv residents by providing humanitarian support. The major event for collecting funds for IWCK’s charity work is the Charity Bazaar, which is organized each year on the first Saturday of December.
