Empowering the Poor

When someone is poor, even small problems can become complicated. A poor landless family can struggle to secure an income against rising food costs, frequent natural disasters and the threat of ill health and malnutrition. At the same time, they might also lack access to markets and decent supplies, credit, savings and insurance, safe water and sanitation, and quality education for their children.

But small steps can lighten the load of poverty. Test your knowledge of poverty, and learn about BRAC's holistic approach to alleviating poverty and empowering the poor.
