DAWA - Diversity Awareness and Wellness in Action

DAWA - Diversity Awareness and Wellness in Action DAWA means 'medicine' in Swahili. We believe that medicine encompasses more than just pills.

We believe medicine can also be meeting people with practical, immediate resources that can bridge the gap when they are in crisis.
