Dahlia Rawji

Strategic Advisor, Board Member

Having grown up between Prague and Kinshasa, Dahlia realized the economic disparity between her two hometowns at an early age, which instilled her desire to support marginalized communities. Inspired by her family's legacy that has touched thousands of lives across generations through education opportunities and financial grants, she became invested in developing solutions to overcome the challenges of marginalized people in less economically developed countries.

Dahlia received an M.S. in Nonprofit Management from Columbia University, and a B.A. in Economics & Middle Eastern Studies from Wellesley College.

Dahlia began her nonprofit career by working in the non-profit space in Boston, Bombay, and New York. In 2020, she turned her focus back home to become part of Groupe Rawji and amplify her family's impact through their commitment to corporate social responsibility. In her eyes, innovative educational approaches are the key to empowering and uplifting people and breaking poverty cycles for current and future generations.
