BRAC is an international development organization based in Dhaka. It is the largest development organization in the world employing over 100,000 people (70 percent are women) and reaching 150 million people with its services. Founder Sir Fazle Hasan Abed created BRAC after independence of Bangladesh as a small-scale relief and rehabilitation project to help returning war refugees from the war. Learning to rapidly scale is their mantra and 14 thousand homes were rebuilt as part of the initial relief effort, as well as several hundred fishing boats - done within nine months, including opening medical centres and providing other essential services.
