Our Work

As a cultural and wellness-focused organization, we serve Bangladeshi Americans and other South Asian residents living in the Central Texas area. It was founded by a group of visionary Bangladeshi Austinites, who believed in developing a prosperous community of Bangladeshi diaspora that can embrace American values as well as maintain a rich, cultural Bangladeshi heritage living in the great state of Texas. With traditional cultural and wellness related activities, the organization has been a trusted and reputable civic organization in the greater Austin area. Many of our members proudly serve as volunteers at our wellness activities and other outreach events.

We recognize the importance of nurturing our culture – celebration of different seasons, wearing traditional dresses, cooking Bengali dishes, and even performing songs, dance, and theatrical acts in our mother tongue, Bangla (or Bengali). The number of residents of Bangladeshi descent in Central Texas is approximately five thousand and growing. Our events, programs, and volunteer activities mainly serve these people and the Bengali-speaking people from West Bengal province of India.
For the last few years, our organization has started a series of wellness-focused initiatives. In addition to targeting Bengali-speaking residents, we have also included other South Asians (people from Pakistan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, for example) as we have conducted web-based, health awareness seminars on mental health issues, sleep apnea, and stroke. Furthermore, we have organized three community-based health screenings and served more than 70 residents. The primary focus of these health screenings is to check for high blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol in South Asians. In coming years, it aims to expand wellness efforts at local faith-based organizations.
