Learn About BRAC
BRAC, the largest non-profit in the developing world, was launched in Bangladesh in 1972 and today reaches more than 110 million people in Africa and Asia through its programs that address poverty by providing micro-loans, self-employment opportunities, health services, education and legal and human rights services. BRAC offers preventive, curative, and reproductive health services to more than 92 million people.
BRAC's vision is to improve the health, wealth and well-being of millions of the poorest families primarily in Asia and Africa. BRAC's work gives people a chance to transform their lives. BRAC invests in training and building human capacity in each country where we work. We organize the most vulnerable, particularly poor women, for their own self-empowerment, rights, protection, work and collective voice, enabling them to fully develop themselves and contribute to their communities.
