This website is the final product of a partnership between the Bangladeshi non-profit organization BRAC and Duke University of North Carolina.

During the summer of 2008, nine Duke students traveled across Bangladesh to see BRAC's multitude of poverty alleviation and empowerment programs in action.

Collected here are the stories of struggle and success that face BRAC's field officers, beneficiaries and the Bangladeshi population as a whole. Scroll across the pictures and click to see video, photos and hear the full story of these incredible individuals.
