Empowering Women - To Nurture, Lead, and Excel


The Igbo Women Association Glasgow (IWA) is a socio-cultural and charitable organisation dedicated to promoting unity, preserving heritage, and supporting the wellbeing of Igbo women and their families in Glasgow and its surrounding communities. Rooted in the values of sisterhood and collective responsibility,

IWA provides a platform where women of Igbo origin, and those married to an Igbo person - can connect, celebrate their culture, and support one another in practical and meaningful ways. Our official motto, “Obi buru otu: Chukwu bu ike Anyi” - United in heart: God is our strength - reflects our belief that strength lies in unity, faith, and shared purpose.

Integrity

The value of integrity is embedded in our quest to make a positive difference in our host country, motherland, and the world as a whole. We strive to treat everyone with dignity and respect.
