Work for a Better Bangladesh (WBB)
is a non-profit, non-governmental
organization whose goal is to improve public health and the environment through
public education, programs, and advocacy.
Specifically, we seek to limit the harms to
health, economy and the environment caused by active and passive tobacco use, to
reduce stress caused by constant traffic noise, to reduce air pollution by
promoting cleaner vehicles, and to reduce the environmental harm caused by
plastic bags.
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 in
tobacco control comes from the Government of Canada provided through the
Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). Further financial support is
provided by PATH Canada 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.
