Welcome to IWAH e.V.

Who we are... The International Women's Association Hannover (IWAH) is a group for women with international origins, backgrounds or experiences who live in the Hannover area and would like to share their experiences with each other and promote intercultural understanding.

The IWAH was founded in 1992 in order to help newcomers in Hannover during the initial adjustment period.

At the same time, IWAH offers its members information and insider know-how about our city and life in Germany. We strive to create a friendly environment in which women feel comfortable and at home. We provide opportunities for our members to explore and discover Hannover and the German way of life.

Presently, more than 52 different nationalities are represented in IWAH. Women of all ages from many different walks of life make up our membership. We use English as our common language, but other languages (including German) are also spoken.
