Connecting to make a Difference.
JIWA has continued to grow and increase its support to organisations in need, organisations that make a long-term sustainable impact and that empower women, young adults and children.
“As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way.”
– Mary Anne Radmacher
This perfectly describes the founding principle of the Johannesburg
Indian Women Association (JIWA).

Over the years, JIWA has grown into a thriving NPO with 29 members of all Indian descent, including both expatriates and South African Indians. A commitment to uplift underprivileged communities drives the organisations work, and
its efforts are sustained through corporate donations, private sponsorships, and various fundraising events held throughout the year.
