Our Partners - Your Discounts
BIWC partners with local businesses, offering exposure in exchange for discounts for our members. Over the years, the club has created valuable connections with Kyrgyzstan-based businesses such as restaurants, cafés, hotels, beauty salons, art galleries, amongst others. There are currently over 40 different businesses across Bishkek and Kyrgyzstan that are BIWC partners.
BIWC provides its members with a list of recommended establishments, where they can receive a discount upon their visit. In order to receive a discount, a valid BIWC membership card should be shown at the time of service. There is usually no further discount in conjunction with any other discount or promotion. For Hotels, all benefits are subject to availability; please confirm in advance if the discount is applicable or not.
BIWC is one of the best IWCs I have joined by far. I love BIWC’s inclusiveness and it’s diversity. Members are always very supportive and willing to volunteer to host different activities. Through the hiking club, I was able to see the beautiful nature of KG. The people in the cooking club taught me how to cook some members’ delicious food. Some of my best friends are from this club. I forever grateful to the BIWC for making my life so much more meaningful than I could ever imagined. BIWC always hold a special place in my heart.

BIWC membership is a warm and welcoming society that showed me Kyrgyzstan from different perspectives, and especially the nature, the beauty of the places we could travel and see.
Organization of the ball for fundraising was always a fun and valuable event, showing how group of foreigners could make an impact in the ones in need.

BIWC was a club not only a landing page for expat spouses but a place where one could find comfort in family/personal transition.
It was and still is a big family.
Nowadays BIWC, is a platform for cross cultural communication, socio-economical projects and education. It has variety of club where one can dive in and grow. Potentially, every member is a torch carrier. I will carry my torch and will try and be still involved from afar.

Our Charity Partners and Supporters
Since its foundation in 1996, BIWC has hosted and supported a variety of events to raise funds for Kyrgyz organisations in the field of education, child care, and health. Our charitable work would not have been possible without the efforts and contributions of both our members and our business partners.
Over the years, BIWC has created a network of supportive local business and organisations who provide us with products, vouchers, and goods for our charity endeavours. Our partners' donations allow us to host events and balls, such as the Masquerade Ball or the Fashion Show, whose revenues are then donated to charitable projects within Kyrgyzstan.
BIWC is a registered public foundation connecting and supporting the expat women living in Bishkek.
