World Peace & Economic
Development Organization
Fostering a world where every individual lives with equality and hope.
Bridging nations through compassion for over four decades.
Who We Are
Bridging Humanity & Hope
Founded in 1981 by the visionary Bangladeshi philanthropist, Late Sher-E-Khwaja.
The World Peace and Economic Development Organization (WPEDO) was established with a single timeless purpose to foster peace, uphold human dignity, and advance economic development across the globe.
Guided by the universal values of love, compassion, and justice, WPEDO has grown from a noble vision into an internationally respected organization dedicated to creating a world where every individual regardless of nation, race, or faith can live with equality, dignity, and opportunity.
Our Global Standing
Since its inception, WPEDO has held Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations, recognizing our commitment to the UN’s global mission of peace, human rights, and sustainable development.
On behalf of our founder and the people we serve, WPEDO extends heartfelt gratitude to the United Nations, UNICEF, UNESCO, WHO, Commonwealth Secretariat, CIDA, and other international donor agencies and world leaders whose continued support strengthens our global mission of peace and progress.
Due to Passing of our Founder Chairman, the Organization activities were on hold for few years, and the status is at present dormant; we are in process of re-establishing the ECOSOC status.
Our Inspiration
The Legacy of Sher-E-Khwaja
A visionary who believed that peace is not merely the absence of war, but the presence of justice.
The late Sher-E-Khwaja, Founder and Chairman, envisioned an organization that would bridge hearts and nations through peace, understanding, and collective action. His legacy continues to guide WPEDO as we work to uplift the vulnerable and empower communities to shape a more compassionate world.
,,
Peace is not merely the absence of conflict it is the presence of justice, equality, and love among all humankind.
— Late Sher-E-Khwaja, Founder Chairman
