About
According to World Bank, more than half of the population of Liberia (54 %) live below the poverty line. BRAC in Liberia was established to alleviate poverty through our holistic, integrated approach. Our programmes currently reach across 10 counties of Liberia. Our microfinance programme provides micro and small enterprise loans, reaching areas not covered by banks. Microloans are targeted to meet the needs of women while enterprise loans target both female and male small enterprise owners. In 2016, we introduced mobile money to make transactions even more convenient.
