We're calling on generous people like you to help smart, generous women lead extraordinary lives. Will you answer the call?
Women are catalysts of change. BRAC has set an audacious goal: To raise $1 million for Extraordinary Women by December 31st. Throughout our ambitious campaign, we’re spotlighting five Extraordinary Women who represent tenacity and ingenuity. These women used proven solutions from BRAC to build a ladder and climb out of poverty. Now, they’re ushering the next generation up to the highest rungs. Read their stories below, and help us power more Extraordinary Women in 2025.
