Meet the BRAC Liberia Team!

Things are getting started for BRAC in Liberia. We'd like to introduce you to some of the staff from Bangladesh who've come to Liberia to help start the programs and train national staff on BRAC's holistic approach.

On the left is Shapon, who is an agronomist with more than 7 years of experience working with BRAC. Shapon will be working with the agriculture program, helping rural farmers grow better crops to feed their families and sustain their livelihoods.

On the right is Farhad, who is the managing director of BRAC Liberia's microfinance program. He has been with BRAC for more than 19 years and brings a wealth of knowlege about BRAC's unique microfinance-plus approach.

Humayan is an Area Health Coordinator, who will oversee BRAC's health program and manage the recruitment and training of BRAC's Community Health Promoters - women who go door-to-door, visiting around 150 homes in their communities, providing life-saving health information, basic health care services and access to a variety of health products.
