About

Description
At Business for Better Society (BBS), our goal is to drive lasting, meaningful change in communities worldwide through collaboration, innovation, and transparency. We believe that real transformation begins at the local level, which is why we partner with grassroots nonprofits that are deeply embedded in their communities and committed to creating long-term impact. We recognise that sustainable impact can take many forms—whether through financial support, mentorship, technical assistance, volunteering, training, internships, or the provision of essential resources. Our partnerships are not based on a nonprofit's sector or geographic location, but on shared values and a deep commitment to purposeful, enduring change. A central part of our approach is our unwavering commitment to our donors: 100% of all donations go directly to grants and programs, never to overhead or administrative costs. This means every dollar given directly supports transformative work on the ground. Our values—integrity, credibility, accountability, and transparency—form the foundation of our work. They guide us to pursue excellence through best practices, innovation, and continuous learning. We embrace a holistic view of giving and remain dedicated to measuring and reporting our impact using both quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods. While not all outcomes are easily measured, we are committed to assessing and communicating the true value of our work. Our reach is global, and our impact is real: In Uganda, we work with a primary school, a mobile computer lab, libraries, and clean water, and women entrepreneurs. In Afghanistan, we’ve run adult literacy programs, opened community libraries, and launched a women’s life skills training centre. We continue to fundraise for environmentally friendly bread ovens that reduce wood use and smoke inhalation. In Thailand, our corporate donor designed and installed an irrigation system for a farm that supports a school for children with special needs. In Kenya, we operate a business incubator for women, supporting the creation of 140+ small businesses that have brought economic freedom and empowerment. In Zimbabwe, we support the electric tricycle revolution, helping rural women access transport and transform their communities. In Gansu, China, girls from the poorest province receive scholarships to complete high school and continue to university. In Canada, donor support has funded hundreds of hours of mental health counselling through local charities. In Madagascar, we helped establish school vegetable gardens that provide nutritious meals and agricultural skills training for rural students. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we partner with a local nonprofit to support the reintegration of former child soldiers into their communities. And that’s just a snapshot. From Africa to Asia, North America to remote parts of the Amazon, we are proud to stand alongside local leaders and communities who are working tirelessly to build a better future. Together, we are building a better society—for all.
