The Association was established in 1967 and has 200 members. Dawoodi Bohras are one of the oldest communities in Hong Kong, both as a business and as a religious group, and their contributions to the local community are long-standing and well appreciated. The vast majority of members of the community are traders. However, of late, they have also entered into professions such as medicine, law, information technology, teaching, etc. The ladies wing of the Association, established about 25 years ago, annually sends clothes to the needy in India, Pakistan and elsewhere and provides financial aid to those in urgent need.
