Beneblog: Technology Meets Society

DECEMBER 21, 2006

In my recent blog postings, I documented personal impressions during my recent trip to Bangladesh. Silva's analysis presented in the report, " Judge, Jury, and Death: Torture and Executions by Bangladesh's Elite Security Force." This post takes a look at how Benetech is helping to document human rights abuses in that country.

ICA Fund Good Jobs. There are two fundamental things we love about ICA Fund Good Job’s annual report : The table of contents and the graphics. NPR (National Public Radio) does an excellent job of making their annual report relevant. Full disclosure: Fight CRC is a Whole Whale client, but we really do love their annual report!).

My primary destination in Bangladesh was to meet with BRAC , which is the world's largest NGO (nonprofit organization) with nearly 100,000 employees. Abed has accomplished an incredible amount since founding BRAC more than 30 years ago, but he is charging forward with expansion both inside and outside of Bangladesh.

Conversation Three When I got back late to the hotel and stopped by the bar, I found the founders of Waste Concern of Dhaka, Bangladesh, Maqsood Sinha and Iftekhar Enayetullah getting a late dinner of sandwiches. They have expanded from Dhaka to at least ten cities, and are now wrestling with the right way to expand outside of Bangladesh.

When I first met them several years ago, Waste Concern was processing organic waste from Dhaka into fertilizer, and generating jobs for the poor. Plus, they are expanding into other areas of sustainability work, such as solar powered water pumps in rural Bangladesh. In a great way!

As millennials, our goal is not to work at a certain company, we think about these jobs as a part of a longer journey. When you have a volunteer experience that makes you question your life or see that someone in Bangladesh is the same as you, it makes you more passionate to give back for the rest of your life.

If you know some great folks (especially techies) who want a job that embodies their values as well as paying a competitive wage, please send them my way! For example, I'm planning on going to India and Bangladesh next month for the first time, and to Uganda and Sudan next year. I was awarded one of the 2006 MacArthur Fellowships.
