4.2

 

As Bangladesh struggled to recover from war in the 1970s, businessman Fazle Hasan Abed knew he had to help. He sold his flat in London, returned home, and founded the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee, or BRAC.
 
One of the most important issues they tackled was girls’ education. The war had left many families relying on their children—especially girls—to work the family farms. As a result, less than 2 percent of Bangladeshi girls were in school.
 
So BRAC started an education program. In every one of their schools, at least 70% of the students had to be girls. The teachers had to be local women, books and materials were free, and schedules worked around the growing season.
 
Since then, BRAC has enrolled millions of girls in thousands of classrooms around the world.
 
As #BRACTurns50, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
couldn’t be prouder to partner with this remarkable organization.
