Organization
Description


BRAC is a development organization dedicated to alleviating poverty by empowering the poor to bring about change in their own lives. We were founded in Bangladesh in 1972 and over the course of our evolution, established ourselves as a pioneer in recognising and tackling the many different realities of poverty.

Our Vision
Our vision is a world free from all forms of exploitation and discrimination where everyone has the opportunity to realise their potential.

Our Mission
Our mission is to empower people and communities in situations of poverty, illiteracy, disease and social injustice. Our interventions aim to achieve large scale, positive changes through economic and social programmes that enable women and men to realise their potential.


To celebrate the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day, we'd like to share with you the stories of some extraordinary women who, through BRAC, have been able to change their lives and the lives of women around them.
