Who we are


Each individual at BILD and at the non-profit organization SEEDS started as a volunteer helping people here in northeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). BILD’s Executive Director Christopher Bragdon first arrived in BiH in 1996 with his own and donated funds, eager to help communities recover from the Bosnian War (1992-1995). SEEDS’ President Douglas Mitarotonda was a volunteer here in Tuzla teaching information technology to high schools and university students in 2003 before becoming the President of SEEDS in 2006.

Through years of experience and dedication, whether currently paid staff or volunteers, the individuals of BILD and SEEDS have a proven track record of turning private donations and grant funds into measurable and lasting results helping communities in BiH find common ground and build a shared prosperous future together.
