Today (Sunday) is the 89th birthday of Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, the founder of BRAC, the world's leading non-governmental development organisation, says a statement.
He was born on April 27, 1936 in the village of Baniachang, Habiganj.
In 1962, he studied accountancy in London and became a cost management accountant. His life took a dramatic turn during the devastating cyclone of 1970 and the Liberation War of 1971 while working for a British multinational firm in Pakistan.
Following the outbreak of Liberation War, he resigned and returned to London, where he initiated the formation of two organisations, 'Action Bangladesh' and 'Help Bangladesh,' to aid the liberation effort.
