We had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of this year’s Community Connections Campaign (CCC) and present our work at the World Bank, continuing the momentum at the International Finance Corporation (IFC)!

Dr. Arif Mohammad Tanmoy and Jaasia Momtahena Hafsa represented CHRF, showcasing how our research and advocacy contribute to improving child health in Bangladesh and around the world by generating data that guides appropriate, evidence-based policy decisions. Their presentation highlighted our community engagement efforts and our commitment to empowering the next generation of scientists through the Building Scientists for Bangladesh initiative. We also loved the excitement around our merchandise stalls at both events—every purchase directly supporting scholarships for trainees in our programs.

Having these platforms to share our vision and advocate for meaningful change reaffirms the importance of the work we do. We are truly grateful to both the World Bank and IFC for their warm welcome and for supporting our journey toward a healthier, more equitable future for all.
