Thank you Mr. Abed

It is undisputed that Bangladesh is synonym to its numerous villages. Mr. Abed is one of the few who took it to heart and committed to its advancement since the beginning of newly liberated, our beloved motherland, Bangladesh. It is for his dream, devoted life and works, the villages of Bangladesh are well connected, better in the sense of mass education, girl`s education, awareness and rights, maternal/child health, entrepreneurship so forth so on. Thank you Mr. Abed, thanks a lot! We love you Mr. Abed, Not just to cherish your passionate memory fondly. We are going to take your way, follow you to have our villages and beloved motherland high!

Few have had the impact...

...that Abed Bhai has had on the lives of people living in poverty, in Bangladesh and around the world. The board and staff of Trickle Up are grateful to have worked alongside BRAC for a dozen years to help adapt and scale BRAC`s Graduation Approach so that thousands of families that Trickle Up reaches would benefit. There is so much to admire about BRAC`s work: its deep commitment to serving the poorest, its commitment to innovation and learning, its ability to scale its ideas to reach large number of people. Like Mildred Robbins Leet, Trickle Up`s co-founder and a peer of his, Abed was a beacon of commitment, optimism, and passion. His leadership and good works will surely benefit generations to come. We send our condolences to his family and colleagues. Bill Abrams, President, Trickle Up New York City

Condolences from the BRAC UK team

It is with great sadness that the BRAC UK team mourns the loss of our Founder Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, or as he was better known to all of us across the entire BRAC family, ‘Abed Bhai’. Abed Bhai’s calmness, modesty and vision of a better world were a model to all of us. We are resolute in our determination to fulfill his legacy; to build a fairer and more equitable world where everyone has the same opportunities. We continue to be inspired by Abed Bhai’s ambition and entrepreneurialism in never seeing any problem as insurmountable. His belief in the capacity of people living in poverty to change their situation through their own effort, given the right tools and support in the community, will always be at the heart of our work. Personally, I treasure the time I spent with him discussing BRAC’s work and receiving guidance and wisdom on approaches to development in some of the world’s toughest places. He always took a great interest in the BRAC UK team and how they were getting on personally. We will all miss him, but will continue to be guided by his values and philosophy, that are and always will be embodied by BRAC, this incredible organisation he founded that we are so proud to be a part of.

Small is beautiful,but big is necessary

‎‎I really fascinated to BRAC and Sir Abed . He believed Small is beautiful,but big is necessary. BRAC( Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee>>>) become the brand brac , to me it becomes a hybrid of MNC and NGO one of its kind in the world all under his leadership . He handover all of the responsibility phase by phase to next generation , professional people so brac is only going to miss the spirit and the person Abed bhai ,but will not feel void or directionless, thus he managed the largest NGO of the world and ,cascaded the leadership . He lived a life of Abed Bhai and left as it , leaving all of the designation and responsibilities delegated. You will be remembered, with the legacy larger than life , build upon thousand mile walk to convert words , idea and ideology into action .

He made the world a better place

He has shown that Bangladesh being a poor country, if the masses can all come together, we can help each other to come out of the darkness and emit light that goes beyond. He will be missed; his work here has given us hope for our future to come He has made the world a better place even in his absence.
