A Bangladeshi women's organization in Washington D.C.
A brighter future for women in Bangladesh:
NEW DESTINATIONS


Samhati was founded in 1984 by a group of
women of Bangladeshi origin living in the
Washington, DC metropolitan area. We
raise funds and try to improve the social
and economic conditions of women and
children in Bangladesh. Samhati is
registered with the State of Maryland as a
non-profit organization and has been
granted tax-exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. Samhati is an
all-volunteer organization with no paid staff
or office. Accordingly, we have negligible
overhead costs and are able to direct
almost 100% of contributions to the needy
women and families in Bangladesh.
Samhati receives no government funding
and relies almost exclusively on personal
contributions
