Meet the President of WIG Cambodia

Women’s International Group

Who We Are

Founded in 1994 by a group of expat women in Phnom Penh seeking connection and community, the Women’s International Group (WIG) has grown into a vibrant, multicultural network of women from over 35 countries — including Cambodia. We unite cultures, languages, and generations in a spirit of friendship and social responsibility.

What We Do

WIG is more than just a social group. We offer regular meetups — from cultural outings and crafts to sports and our much-loved weekly Coffee Chats — to create connection and support among members. But at the heart of WIG is a deeper mission: to give back to Cambodia, our host country.

Each year, we organize Phnom Penh’s most anticipated holiday event: the WIG Christmas Fair. This festive celebration is not only a joyful gathering for the community, but also a major fundraiser for our WIG Community Fund. Since 2016, we’ve raised over $329,680, funding 117 local projects led by grassroots NGOs that focus on education, health, empowerment, and dignity.

Through 12 editions of the Christmas Fair (excluding 2020 due to COVID-19), WIG has proudly become a trusted partner to small NGOs making a big difference across Cambodia.

Our Mission

To connect, support, and empower women in Phnom Penh while creating meaningful impact through community engagement and charitable giving.

We welcome you to join us.
