BRAC International envisions a world free from all forms of exploitation and discrimination where everyone has the opportunity to realise their potential. BRAC is the largest non-governmental development organisation in the world, measured by the number of employees and number of people it has helped. Founded in post-war Bangladesh in 1972, BRAC has become a household name over 45 years, creating opportunities for millions of people living in poverty. BRAC was ranked the number one NGO in the world for the fourth consecutive years in 2019 by the NGO Advisor, a Geneva based independent organisation committed to highlighting innovation, impact and governance in the non-profit sector.
