A community built by women, for women.
AAWO was founded to provide Albanian women in the United States with a safe, welcoming, and empowering community.
Many immigrant women experience isolation while adapting to a new culture, language, and environment. AAWO was established to help women overcome these challenges by offering guidance, mentorship, education, networking opportunities, and social support.
For years, AAWO has been run entirely by volunteers whose dedication has helped hundreds of women and families integrate successfully into American society while maintaining strong ties to Albanian culture and traditions.
Today, the organization serves as a bridge connecting generations of Albanian women across the United States and around the world.

Chapters
Now in Florida.
Our Florida Chapter extends the AAWO Motrat Qiriazi sisterhood to Albanian-American women across the Sunshine State — with local gatherings, mentorship, and community service.
From New York to Florida, and across the Albanian diaspora, our mission is the same: empower women, preserve heritage, build community.
Our Board
A leadership rooted in service.
For more than 30 years, the AAWO Motrat Qiriazi board has been powered entirely by volunteers — women who show up for other women, one gathering, one story, one program at a time.
