About Give Bangladesh Foundation
Give Bangladesh Foundation was established in 2018 to provide a unique pathway for the people of Bangladesh, to get involved in the development of the country through philanthropy and volunteering.
Drawing on the decade-long development expertise of its two co-founders, Mohammad Saifullah Mithu and Nuheen Khan, Give Bangladesh Foundation designs projects that attempt to identify and solve the root problems of selected development challenges. By bringing modern practices from the development industry to the more simplistic philanthropic sector, the foundation strives to ensure that charity contributions from individuals and volunteers are creating positive short-term and long-term impact on beneficiaries.
