The Dakar Women’s Group is an exclusively volunteer member organisation representing women from over 50 different countries.
DWG has been running for 36 years. Initially created as a gathering for social and professional networking. It has grown to over 200 dedicated volunteers willing to improve the wellbeing of communities in and around Dakar. DWG focuses on social welfare, education, environment, women and children’s health, project development, entrepreneurship and the Arts.
We distribute essential funding to small projects focused on social welfare. We also empower small businesses, entrepreneurs and artists to promote and sell their products through our Christmas Bazaar and Summer Fair. All while advocating for sustainability through environmental projects.
DWG is run by an all volunteer executive committee. Collectively, they are a source of drive, enthusiasm and resourcefulness for members.
They have the responsibility of developing policies and procedures for the organization, acknowledge member’s needs and ensure that the overarching mission of DWG is fulfilled.
