The Dhaka American Women’s Club (DAWC) is a dynamic and independent organization of North American women (from the US and Canada) living temporarily and permanently in Bangladesh. It is a committed to furthering fellowship within the American community and also with the larger Bangladeshi community.

The  DAWC was founded in the 1970’s by a small group of American women as a way to socialize and to become active in the greater Dhaka community. Over the years, fundraising and charity events became a central mainstay to the organization.

Our goals are to provide a touch of community for Americans as well as to provide assistance to the less fortunate people in our host community. We do this by sponsoring social and charitable activities throughout the year as well as rendering charitable services and gifts to individuals and/or organizations within Bangladesh.
