About Us

Building a stronger Saskatchewan by uplifting African‑descent women and their communities.

Daughters of Africa Resource Center SK. (DoARC) is a Saskatchewan-based grassroots non-profit that supports African-descent (Black) and other racialized women.

Founded in 2018, we use a trauma-informed approach to create safe, welcoming spaces for women, youth, and families affected by discrimination or inequality. Our team of mostly African-descent women professionals designs programs that celebrate cultural identity, build leaders, and link women to local supports and opportunities.

Through advocacy, education, and community support, we’re helping build a stronger, more inclusive Saskatchewan where every woman can belong and succeed.

Our mission

DoARC's mission is to strengthen African-descent (Black) communities by providing culturally relevant programs, resources, and platforms that promote leadership, cultural identity, employment readiness, economic literacy, gender equity, social inclusion, and community wellbeing.

  • We shall respect and treat each other with dignity and worth.
  • We shall support and work towards healthier and stronger families.
