Brac now in Philippines

Brac launched its operation in the Philippines yesterday setting a lofty goal of bringing the light of education in the troubled region of Muslim Mindanao, said a press release.
At a ceremony held in the capital yesterday, Sir Fazle Hasan Abed launched the programme in the presence of senior representatives from the government of Bangladesh and Philippines, development partner AusAid and Brac.
Sir Fazle said, “What Brac brings to the Philippines is not just an education delivery system but a vision of a just and fair society which is based on educating our children."
Brac will operate at least 1,600 pre-primary and primary schools through its education programme in Muslim Mindanao.
