South-Asian Women's Alliance of Nevada (SWAN) was formed in 2021 to bridge the gap between the South-Asian communities and mainstream services and resources that exist within Nevada. SWAN aims to connect South-Asians living in Southern Nevada to vital federal, state, local social service programs as well as volunteer opportunities in the community.
The South-Asian diaspora is composed of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Indo-Caribbean and other South-Asian descendants.
