We are A Community

A vibrant community of diverse women united by a shared passion for volunteerism and positive change - dedicated to empowerment, inclusivity and lasting transformation in Dakar.

Through the partnership of members, sponsors and donors, DWG is able to support charities in and around Dakar.

Collectively they are a source of drive, enthusiasm and resourcefulness for members. They develop the policies and procedures for DWG, deliver on members' needs and make sure the overarching mission of DWG is fulfilled.
