Mission

BRAC USA seeks to improve the well being of the poorest in Africa and Asia, particularly its women and children. To do so, BRAC USA will support BRAC in its work to build scalable, sustainable institutions that are indigenously led over time to create wealth for the poor, promote health and social development and advance education and entrepreneurship.

Programs

BRAC employs a holistic approach to alleviating poverty by integrating its core programs (health, education and microfinance) with strategic linkages and constant evolution. By organizing people for power through village organizations, BRAC provides ladders of opportunity for the poor to access credit and other services and break out of the cycle of poverty and despair.
