Billions For
Bangladesh
The “Billions For Bangladesh” initiative is an ambitious diaspora-driven plan designed to raise and invest 1 billion USD for Bangladesh’s development within a year. The core idea is to mobilize the global Bangladeshi diaspora to contribute towards building a self-sustaining investment fund focused on Bangladesh’s socioeconomic growth.
The Fund is to be led, managed and executed by the global diaspora of Bangladesh. The ground up economic empowerment that will result from careful and strategic investment of this fund is rooted in the concept of three zeros, zero poverty, zero unemployment and zero net carbon emissions.
About Us
Billions For Bangladesh
In October, 2024, shortly after the revolution in Bangladesh, a small group of Bangladeshis from the diaspora came together and developed this BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) to raise $1 billion USD to invest in Bangladesh’s economy to support the Three Zero initiative as envisioned in the book “A World of Three Zeros” by Dr. Yunus.
Billions For Bangladesh (BFB) is quickly taking shape as it embarks on this very ambitious but worthwhile journey. The Company will identify and enlist multiple Board of Directors including the 5 co-founders from the global diaspora. If you subscribe to the Vision, Mission & Values of Billions for Bangladesh and have a serious interest to contribute, please get in touch.
Our Mission
We will offer our services unconditionally for Bangladesh & Bangladeshi Citizens without any hidden agenda. If you are excited about the possibilities in the same way that we are, come and join the initiative. We believe the time is NOW and Bangladesh needs the skills, experience, talent, wisdom, hearts and minds of the diaspora to achieve the goals of creating a New Bangladesh. In addition to being a board member (if you meet the criteria we have carefully crafted), you can join BFB as an ambassador to spread the message and enlist fellow Bangladeshis from around the world to engage in this effort to change the future course of Bangladesh.
Our Vision
Billions For Bangladesh is an unprecedented and groundbreaking initiative uniting millions of Bangladeshi diaspora members worldwide to raise $1 billion. We aim to fund transformative projects across education, healthcare, renewable energy, agriculture, advanced manufacturing and digital infrastructure, while leveraging diaspora expertise to create sustainable, long-term impact.
