For 40 years, BRAC has developed, tested and implemented a myriad of development programs that have propelled it to become one of the largest and most comprehensive development organizations in the world. BRAC is dedicated to the alleviation of poverty by empowering the poor to realize their potential and bring about positive change in their own lives.
