BRAC Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Programme

    BRAC’s mission is to work with people whose lives are dominated by extreme poverty, illiteracy, disease 
    and other disadvantages. With a holistic approach, they strive to bring about positive changes in the quality 
    of life of people who are poor. With an expansive grass roots infrastructure that ensures their reach is 
    national, they can implement programmes quickly and efficiently. Their new Water, Sanitation and Hygiene 
    Programme, began as a sanitation pilot under the Essential Health Care Programme and has since been 
    rolled out to 150 sub-districts. It is the first integrated approach to water, sanitation and hygiene that
    involves the entire population of an area.
