Better
World Story is a Japan-based nonprofit association aimed at advocacy and
educational activities for global social issues. We believe that the keys to solutions
lie in the life stories of people who face challenges, and we collect their
voices and bring them to societies and policy leaders.
About us
We started with a team of three who are open-minded and eager to make changes for the better.
One advocates for global health and aid policy, the other works for local population health,
and another for international finance, with a passion for connecting people.
Having different specialties and skills, and a common passion for social change,
we envision a world where everyone can live well and vitally.

Projects
Global Health Advocacy - Learning from NTDs patient stories (2024-)
NTDs
(Neglected Tropical Diseases) are a group of diseases that affect about 1.6 billion around the world,
mostly those living with insufficient hygiene
and scarce resources. The parasites disfigure their arms or legs, irritate their
skin, and some cause blindness, making economic and social activity extremely
difficult and trapping them in the cycle of poverty.
Better
World Story advocates the voices of people who endure NTDs to raise awareness about the importance of prevention and treatments to eliminate diseases, which is also essential for Universal Health Coverage.
This project is conducted in partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and greatly supported by the Open Philanthropy Action Fund.
