The Women’s International Club provides women of all nationalities with the opportunity to meet, foster friendships, share ideas, and enhance their understanding of different cultures. With a commitment to social improvement and the promotion of education, WIC’s major fundraising event is the Annual Charity Bazaar, with profits going to support its social causes.

In the year 1950, four friends from different parts of the world got together in Jakarta. They formed a Club for the specific purpose of providing women of all nationalities with the opportunity to meet, foster friendship, share ideas, and enhance their respect as well as their understanding of different cultures .

The four ladies concerned were Mrs. Suwarni Pringgodigdo (Indonesia), Mrs. Martha Galbraith (United States of America), Mrs. Chrystal Packingham ( United Kingdom) and Mrs. Tarabaig (India) . Thus, Women’s International Club was born on March 11, 1950. To start with they only had 10 members. In the span of one year, membership had grown to sixty and as the years passed, more and more members joined in.

W.I.C is a secular and strictly non-profit and non-political organization, open only to women. An international Executive Committee of 21 members is elected and they hold a two-year term of office. Officially, all communications are in English and Bahasa Indonesia. Membership is comprised of 60% Indonesians and 40% expatriates, which allows various opportunities for ladies from four corners of the globe to meet and mingle.
