JTI Bangladesh has provided assistance to Kazuko Bhuiyan Welfare Trust to support and encourage Japanese language learning in Bangladesh, a press release said Monday.
Kazuko Bhuiyan Welfare Trust is a non-profit organization working on social development concerns in Bangladesh, particularly in the areas of education, entrepreneurship, awareness, disaster response, and capacity building.
Kazuko Bhuiyan Trust was established in August 2019 in memory of the late Mrs. Kazuko Bhuiyan, who was a sensei (Japanese word for teacher) to many Bangladeshi students.
In 2018, JT Group acquired the Akij Group’s tobacco business for approximately USD 1.5 billion, making it the single largest FDI ever in the Bangladesh private sector.
JTI Bangladesh is one of the largest taxpayers in the country and works with approximately 15,000 registered farmers to grow tobacco, fostering rural economic development and exports.
