Carole Astin

Moving to a new country for work can be challenging especially for new expats. Often, new expat women in Qatar can feel lost and lonely. This is why the positive support group, Qatar Expat Women, was born. Founded by Carole Astin in 2014, the community-oriented group aims to help women have an easier transition to their life in Qatar. The non-profit group is open to all nationalities and holds a variety of activities like coffee mornings, winter walks, beach days, and meetups. There is no registration fee to join the group.
