WBB Home

Work for a Better Bangladesh (WBB) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization whose goal is to improve public health and the environment through research, material development, advocacy, media work, capacity building of NGOs, and networking.

Specifically, we seek to improve health, personal and national economy, and the environment by promoting non-motorized transport and public transit in place of private cars; by supporting policies to reduce active and passive tobacco use; and by reducing noise pollution and the use of disposable plastics and plastic bags.  We also seek to improve the condition of all citizens by working for a more gender-equitable society and reducing violence against women.

Our mission is to empower citizens to work to improve their health and environment, and to make their surroundings more healthful and livable.

The main source of funding for WBB’s work comes from the Government of Canada provided through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). Further financial support is provided by PATH Canada, the International Union Against Cancer (UICC), Research for International Tobacco Control (RITC) and the World Health Organization (WHO).  In the past WBB has also received financial support from the American Cancer Society, the Advocacy Institute, and World Vision.
