Recognitions

"The CIPRB has had a tremendous impact on the way we see drowning and drowning prevention. From the very first presentation at World Water Safety Conference in 2008, until today, International Life Saving Federation has been keenly aware and a large supporter of CIPRB research, advocacy and tireless efforts to reduce drowning across Bangladesh. Whether that protecting children through creche, teaching survival swimming skills, flood mitigation or establishing lifeguards on the beaches of Coxs Bazaar. On this World Drowning Prevention Day, 25 July 2023, and on behalf of the Board and Members if ILS, we congratulate the CIPRB trustees, executive and field staff, and all involved in drowning prevention across Bangladesh."
