Founded in 1972 by Sir Fazle Hasan Abed in Bangladesh, BRAC is an international development organization with a mission to empower people and communities facing poverty, illiteracy, disease, and social injustice. While its work spans several sectors including education and health, its Microfinance programme is a core component. This programme provides access to essential financial services, such as credit and savings, to millions of people, particularly women, enabling them to build sustainable livelihoods and achieve financial independence. BRAC has grown from a small-scale relief project into a global entity, recognized for its innovative and impactful approach to poverty alleviation.
