BRAC Philippines

With over 100,000 employees reaching an estimated 135 million people, BRAC is the worlds largest non governmental organisations. BRAC is a development success story, spreading anti poverty solutions born in Bangladesh to other developing countries in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean, making it a global leader in providing opportunities for the world’s poor. Originally the Bangladesh Rehabilitation Assistance Committee and later the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee, it is now formally known simply as BRAC.

With a holistic approach that uses a wide array of tools including microfinance, education, healthcare, legal services and more, BRAC invests in communities’ own human and material resources, catalysing lasting change and creating an ecosystem in which the poor have the chance to seize control of their own lives. Of the world’s top development and humanitarian relief organisations, BRAC is one of the few based in the global South.
