poorest billion womens economic model
typical bangladesh village 300 one-room homes - total 1500 people eg farher, mother, 3 children
typical brac para- health servant - 300 homes
typical brac village circle - women sharing financial and other knowhow =30
brac's resilient community lab built 1972 = 16000 homes ie cluster of 50 villages
by 2008 brac served about 65000 villages in bangladesh ie impacting 100 million people
brac's microfinance program may have served over a third of village mothers
==============================
->SAFETY/RESILIENT village communities - goal 1 finance to end poverty see also relationships abed and 2019 nobel economics prize-
rct=randomised control trialsgoal 2 end death by starvation - see abed and world food prize (borlaug alumni network); goal 3 last mile health - see gates health prize and abed- together these form core of rural keynesianism models - see coverage of this economic miracle The Economist 1977
in village asia poverty was ended by village mothers who became village microfranchise /sme owners; demanded their savings were put into education and goal 4 and celebrated the societal revolution of women hold up half the shy -ie goal 5 gender equality;
(resilient communities included building most basin monsoon proof homes; adding pit latrines; part of goal 6 sanitation- maximising info flows/preparedness for cyclones at community levels)
1 lab for resilient community
16000 homes - 100000 people
1$ home with pit latrine

community preparedness against cyclones etc disaster man 1 2
legal support - particularly property rights to homes- 1) maximising ownership by mothers reversed culture of husband right to dismiss wife and children; most of rural bangladesh was simultaneously settled- informal evolved into formal oweneship provided suffiencent suppoort - brac barefoot lawyers
goal 3
last mile community health networkers- along with food security first scaled microfrancises late 1970s early 1980s
stock 10 most basic health products; eg antiseptic, bandages , condom; knowledge to help eg pregnant mothers .
.. later helped timetable nationwide vaccination campaigns, detect tuberculosis- bracs special program to end tb - attracted year 2000 atention of jimkim paul farmer bill gates and george soros
beginning in latre 197-0s, first time brac scaled beyond home region was direct knowledge of oral rehydration to every village mother - this attracted attention of both china barefoot medics and unicefs james grant - he became a worldwide networker of oral rehydration; asking how he could support abed, he was told convince national leaders of vaccination- grant stageds a challenge brac would vaccinate half the nation ; bangla gov would vaccinate other half; later when berac opened a university- its first world class college was james grant school of public health and one of the university's first governors was the epidemilogist and former vice chancellor of swarthmore
