AMWA was founded in 1998 by a group of Muslim women in Aberdeen because they cared about the needs of the women and children. What started as a few ladies who decided to ‘help each other out’ grew to a non-profit volunteer organisation that holds yearly festive events and activities suiting the needs of ethnic minority women and children. We are inclusive of all people of other religious or non-religious affiliations with a Mission to:

• relieving the needs of minority ethnic women and children;
• promote religious and racial harmony; and
• promote equality and diversity.

So now, we try our best to:

• promote social interaction and good relations with and between other communities;
• organize cultural festivals and social events for minority ethnic women from all communities;
• organize training workshops and classes;
• counsel women in need of support;
• provide support and care for women in need (i.e. visits and provide meals for bereaved depressed and convalescing women;
• give communications support to non-English speaking women; and
• provide information regarding services to new comers to the Aberdeen community.
