Website under construction

We're currently working on improving our website to better serve you. This could make it harder for you to find what you need. We aim to have everything up and running soon! If you have any questions about the website in the meantime, please contact us via communications@ziwa.com. Thank you for your patience and understanding. 



Looking forward to meeting you!

In September 1985, five expats and one Swiss woman formed ZIWA. What began with a morning coffee invitation to 35 ladies quickly blossomed into a thriving social group. Today, we proudly unite over 400 members - women of all ages and nationalities.

Our diverse community is a testament to the power of connection and friendship. ZIWA has become a welcoming space for women of all backgrounds to come together, share experiences, and build lasting bonds. 

Try out ZIWA! You can participate in three activities before you become a member, to see if we are a good match. Interested? Reach out to us.

We are excited to meet you!
