Context
Poverty and inequality are human-made, so they can be unmade. Embedded in every person is the potential to build a better life. What is missing too often is the opportunity. Every day, one in ten people across the world is forced to live in extreme poverty, on less than USD$3 a day. With half a century of experience of working with people living in the most vulnerable circumstances, BRAC has learned that anyone can change their life, if they have the tools needed to unlock their agency, rebuild their confidence and become self-reliant.
Goals
The aim of this fund is to enable extreme and ultra-poor households to achieve socioeconomic resilience, in order to progress along a pathway out of extreme poverty in Asia and Africa.
