BRAC is a development organization dedicated to defeating 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 recognizing and tackling the many different realities of poverty. Today, BRAC is using its holistic approach to help 138 million people in Africa, Asia, and Haiti create their own pathways out of poverty. For more information, please visit www.bracusa.org.
