BRAC LIMITED

BRAC LIMITED is neither primarily a factory nor a pure trader. It is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and a leading international development organization founded in Bangladesh. While BRAC operates various social enterprises that might involve manufacturing (e.g., dairy, poultry, handicrafts) or trading activities to support its development programs, its core identity is that of a multi-faceted development organization focused on poverty alleviation and empowerment.

BRAC LIMITED Enterprise Introduction:

BRAC, formerly known as Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee, is one of the largest non-governmental development organizations in the world. Established in 1972 by Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, it is dedicated to alleviating poverty and empowering the poor, particularly women and girls. BRAC operates across a diverse range of sectors, including microfinance, health, education, agriculture, food security, human rights, and social justice.

The organization is renowned for its holistic and integrated approach to development, often creating sustainable social enterprises to fund its programs and ensure long-term impact. These enterprises include BRAC Dairy, BRAC Poultry, BRAC Seed and Agro, Aarong (a popular handicraft retail chain), and BRAC Bank. While these entities engage in manufacturing, production, and trading, they serve as financial engines and programmatic extensions of BRAC's overarching mission rather than being the primary definition of BRAC LIMITED itself.

BRAC has a significant global presence, operating in multiple countries across Asia and Africa, and is recognized for its innovation, scale, and effectiveness in reaching millions of people living in poverty. Its work is rooted in community-led solutions and aims to create opportunities for people to realize their full potential.
