Let’s Work For Bangladesh

Let’s Work for Bangladesh (LWFB) is a Bangladeshi organization in Australia that encourages all Bangladeshis to contribute towards Bangladesh in any shape or form. No matter how big or small the contribution is, what really matters is to get started. This is a humble effort of nine Bangladeshi Australians working together to make a difference in the lives of the poor people in Bangladesh especially, in education sector.

The vision of Let’s Work for Bangladesh (LWFB) is to see all Bangladeshi’s having access to the basic needs including food, health, shelter and education. Unlike many charities, LWFB has no administration costs, offices or salaried staff.
