The Dakar Women's Group is a 100% volunteer, mainly English-speaking organisation representing women from over 50 different countries.

We are a registered, non-profit charitable organisation working in Seengal to improve the well-being of communities in and around Dakar by focusing on:
Social welfare
Education
Women and children’s health
Entrepreneurship

The DWG is run by the Executive Committee, a representation of all of the committees within Dakar Women’s Group.

All of the executive members are elected by volunteer members, including the President, who is elected yearly.

Collectively, the Executive Committee is a source of drive, enthusiasm and resourcefulness for volunteer members. They have the responsibility of developing policies and procedures for the organisation, deliver on what the members want and ensure that the overarching mission of DWG is fulfilled.

✔ A Ready-Made Community
From coffee mornings to committee meetings, you'll meet women from over 50 countries and build friendships that make Dakar feel like home.

✔ Meaningful Volunteering
Choose a committee that speaks to you, from Charity to the Art Show, and do work that visibly matters, backed by a supportive team around you.

✔ Skills and Growth
Take on leadership experience, sharpen the skills you already have, and discover a few you didn't know you had.

✔ Real Impact
Your membership directly funds grants, events and projects that change lives across Dakar. You're not just joining a group, you're joining a movement.
