Approximately 700 million people worldwide currently live in extreme poverty, a state of severe financial and social vulnerability that robs many of hope and dignity. BRAC, the world's largest NGO, began a sustainable, multifaceted intervention called the Graduation approach in 2002. Since then, it has helped over nine million people escape extreme poverty. Now, Shameran Abed and BRAC Ultra-Poor Graduation Initiative (UPGI) have an audacious plan to partner with governments to bring this life-changing program to an additional 21 million people by 2026. (This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change.)

"Even the poorest can transform their lives"
sounds like hope to me
Rev. Ike helped transform millions of lives. He mostly preached that everyone can be healthy and wealthy and many of his followers became just that.
A combination of hope and courage is what leads you out of poverty
@@bobsonbobbybobson6888 if it were that easy, nobody wouldve been poor in the world till now. Its more complex than it sounds
@@elonramsay2406 Courage and hope aren't easy things to attain
@@rigira They are, actually problem is that isnt just enough,
“They have money for war but can't feed the poor.”
― Tupac Shakur
True but sad
A man who didn't spend a single dime on fighting poverty, too busy getting high.
It make me cry
Great quote coming from an idiot
Bobson Bobby Bobson whatever you say, son of bob
Dude’s glasses so clean I was having a hard time convincing myself that he’s wearing them
lol forreal
And now i cant unsee(or see) that😏😏😏😏

I need tips, cause my glasses constantly get dirty 🤣🤣
The 4 steps (still watch vid)-
Over a two year period, the plan does 4 things: 1- Meet a woman’s basic needs by giving her food or cash ensuring the minimum to survive. 2- Move her towards a decent livelihood by giving her an asset like livestock and training her to earn money from it. 3- Retrain her to save, budget, and invest her new wealth. 4- Help to integrate her socially. First into groups of women like her and then into her community.

"Anyone who has ever struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor."
--James Baldwin
I didn't really experience any poverty. Now, I am not fear of becoming poor and not motivated to improve my life. I will be extreme poor in the next 5 years if I didn't suicide. Unless, I make a big transformation in my life. and advice. ? how one make such transformation
@@larknoone565 Suicide isn't the solution for any problem. Forget all your problems and achieve a state of calmness in your mind and think long and hard what options are available you to transform your life. Determine the option that best suits yourself and dedicated a period of 1 to 2 years for it and you will start seeing results.
@@larknoone565 I hope you r still alive and I m not replying to a ghost.
@@_EditNo._1 I am still alive and in a much better situation. Thank you
@@larknoone565 Pls never take this step ever in your life. NEVER...best of luck😊👍
Long live Bangladesh!
From poorest, we are an emerging nation now!
Love from India 🇮🇳
Yeah we are doing pretty decent at developing
@@sneakydoge476 yes
Good for Bangladesh!! Love from Britain, may your every tomarrow be better than yesterday!

This is basically the "teach a man how to fish" saying, which the government, for some reason, usually never applies. I really appreciate that this talk emphasizes that the poor aren't lazy, they just weren't given opportunities & there's lack of resources. It's also a sustainable way of lifting people out of poverty, because the impact lasts long even without direct supervision.
Fun fact: Russia is the biggest country in the world and still has a smaller population then Bangladesh which is smaller then Texas
Fun fact if all counties in the world had at most 10 times of human population density as in Russia, with current developement of the world there would be no poor.
God bless you and may your fathers soul rest in heavenly peace.
Great to see YOU sir ❤ really appreciate that before the Legend pass away he left a hero to be around the poor❤❤
I'm watching from baniyachong,Habiganj 🇧🇩
Ok TED do we now need to do our own research to find more on Shameran Abed, How about a simple link in this post to link your viewers to this topic?
Huge respect for ur father
Amazing. We really need to apply your father's studies and proposals here, in Brazil
@Vijayant Khuntia I'm not asking them to apply here. When I said "we", I meant Brazilian people, and I'm already doing what I is up to me. 🙃
Fazle Abed has left a legacy💖 which persistently being multiplied 💚💚💚💚💚
Optimism thrives over despair. "
Great work there is no words to describe it. Once upon a time I am also poor kid and same like your father my uncle has brought me up to good standards.
Its disappointing that videos like this don't get the recognition they deserve. While, as a Bangladeshi, I knew about BRAC and it's works, I never realised the true scale of impact it has on the ultra poor. I wish the algorithm pushed this video out more to bengali viewers.
BRAC is a pride of our country. 🇧🇩
One of the small number speaches I found enjoyable on TED for a while.
First it tell you a way to influence a world towards improvent and does't critisize others or blame for something.
Second, the way they do it is actually right in extra poor countries. By giving support for people for a time, they give them time to reconsider their lives and acquire new skills. By raising the status of women, they can reduce birth rate and somewhat control overpopulation problem.
Third, their business model is good. And it shows how wealthy people can maintain their wealth while doing things for greater good.
I usually never comments but i must say Fanstastic idea with practical approach and success.
Excellent work
Training the people is one of the best things we can do!
It's not so easy tho. Ultra-poor suffers from malnourished for a long time. same their parents, same their ancestors. Also, they must be average or low. So, we have a human with very limited "can" and a huge and diverse "need".
Thank you so much for talking about this topic, especially in this difficult time for the world. God bless the human and the world.
Respectful tributes to your great father, who dedicated his life to remove poverty and uplifting poverty-stricken people! It,s very important! Your lecture is very impressive! Thanks!
This was a life changing video. A huge respect to your father and his team!!
This man is right. It‘s the help to lift you out alone, that is needed.
This organisation is so great!!
Thank you for sharing, Shameran.
What an incredible endeavor.
Heads off to you and your Dad, Love from Pakistan
This is incredible! Thank you BRAC👌👌
Lots of love from India. We together will build a better world for everyone around us.
Ending economic inequality and income concentration is key to solve this issue. In 2017, 82% of the generated wealth around the world went to the hands of 1% of the global population. There are approximately 2,000 billionaires in the world today. Since 2010, their wealth increased 13%, which is more than 6x the growth of the payment to workers in the same period. Billionaires saw their wealth surge by $762 billion in 2017, which is enough money to end all extreme poverty seven times over. I understand there are a lot of possible solutions to poverty issues, but limiting the individual wealth to reduce inequality seems obvious when you take a look at the numbers.
No one becomes a billionaire without stealing other people's wages. If these billionaires paid their employees good salaries, they wouldn't have stayed billionaires. It is exploitation. The fact that these people got richer during a damn pandemic tells you what is wrong with the system.
This is beautiful!
The 6 best ways to be a very, very, very strong personality
No words are enough to praise... 💐👏👏👏🤝
Uttar Pradesh is India's Bangladesh, Extreme population density takes many to extreme poverty and it has gotten so ingrained that short-term charity can only do enough, Unless government takes long term incentives to invest in whole system so that people stop falling in this pit of hopelessness.
Educate, Think, Work, Teach.
This is amazing! We need this in South Africa.
Nice thought :) Sorry for your loss . But what you are doing is incredible :)
A remarkable man worth remembering.in his lifetime he has the power of light and love to help and uplift his neighbors.He truly understood the second commandment of God" to love others as you love yourself .Bangladesh is a third world country.May the works of your father and your works be the example of those from the richest and poorest countries.
Wow, simply amazing work. You guys are really working hard!!
Great work in the favor of humankind...congrats and best of luck
Perfect!
Poverty can be eradicated with global internet access, smart phones, water and sustainable farming. More generous people focusing on uplifting families. Nice video somewhat similar to heifer hard work too. Each of us all can eradicate poverty as everyone on earth is worthy
Thought provoking lecture
great job sir....your father really great inspiration for all of us....
The problem with poverty is that it’s taught to you - Robert Kiyosaki. If you want to stop poverty then start by including financial education in school, how to raise money and manage expenses.
No, the problem is that poverty is baked into the monetary system.
Lol these are pseudo intellectual theories. Wtf do you mean by 'poverty is taught'? You think people living on less than 2 dollars a day are taught to be hungry? These people have to start working from a very early age, most of them won't even have the time to go to school. And they will stay poor all their life because that's how the system is built. If you are not a corrupted person you won't become ultra rich. System needs to change, and you need to stop believing in these weird theories.
Lamia Mahpara if it’s in the developing world then this doesn’t apply much but what it means is that you can’t get far in life financially by following the same thing other people are doing, go to school and get a job, you risk being dependent on other people for money and you don’t think on your own feet to explore other options of making money
Your are doing great work
very touching
Amazing ❤
Amazing. Applause
Incredible
The best way to lift a society out of poverty is to have a leader who is resolute, determined to build the state, and making sure to promote education and creating jobs. Not pontificating about theories.
Everyone should listen it ❤️❤️❤️

We need this guy in Russia. We have plenty of different programs which were to reduce poverty but none of them work well. One of them is called "social contract" which have been working in 21 regions of Russia during 7 years from 2013, the efficiency level of the program is around 9% that means only 9 percent of participants went out of poverty. Almost all the money (hundred millions of US dollars) are wasted. Moreover in general from all the money given by the government to help those in need only 25 percent of money reach the needing person/family...
Inspirational work 👌
Wonderful legacy
6:40 that pause he took after mentioning his father had passed away, i felt that.
Great Story.
God bless your father🙏🙏 wish you all the best💙
I wish you the best too.
Very important video👍
Working to shut down tax havens and money laundering into Western banks would be a great help.
@ShRed Vines How does implementing a flat tax solve foreign tax havens and, more importently, how does it not disproportionally tax the poor?
This is amazing!!

Amazing! Maravilhoso! #Brasil
Poverty makes you cry very badly if you can not able to get rid poverty.
Respect
Good job! I have always wondered the best way to address poverty. In USA we have never done it correctly. I think that people need to ‘want’ to get out of poverty, that said you need to give them a path that they can achieve. Giving cash in for of welfare , seams for some to create a subculture that doesn’t cycle out of the poverty but keeps them in their comfort zones of expectations. I think we need to address basic needs, housing, safety, medical (health) and education. This is addressed here to some extent but not as a socially moving whole, it’s not assured and can’t be counted on. Treated as individual programs verses one program with a goal. Yes there will be plenty that will not break free but knowing you can would help groups like yours to reach out and guide people to a brighter future. Health care should be a given, food should be a given (how ever distributed _ soup kitchen is not bad) , housing might not be an apartment it could be a small tent city ( I have spoken to homeless that can’t handle 4 walls), eduction to how to get services , proper health practices, and higher education should all be a given. Safety , frontline police should be social workers first versus punishers , goal to make this a better place. There will be a need for second level police but if we don’t harden the people as well as the police in how we train them and our society, the problems should lessen. Break the norms, address the social problems more than the individual issue. Just a thought.
Great video 👍
Applause 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
It's disgraceful that so many people are living in poverty while others have more money than they could ever need. There is a great organisation called Lend With Care that allows you to lend money to people in some of the poorest countries. They use the loan to start or build up their business, and they gradually pay it back in small amounts until it's fully paid off. It allows them to buy whatever they need in order to build up a profitable business, and as they pay the loan back they know that they've done the work themselves without needing charity - this increases their self esteem, hope, and quality of life. These are people who already work incredibly hard and just need a temporary boost. The work BRAC does sounds amazing too, and it's great that they focus on so many different elements of a person's life, skills and wellbeing; it's a holistic approach.
great video
You and your father are our inspiration and example for rest
I really hope governments are willing to work with you guys, especially with that track-record!
So, do you know why a government may leave poor people suffer? why not help them?
very nice
Imagine future!!
Great initiative sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I hope govt helps you in every manner 😐
very good by
Good work congratulations
How can I get more information on how to set up in others places
I'd like to thank Ted for uploading this brilliant video.
ধন্যবাদ ও অভিনন্দন। যদিও উপস্থাপনা টা যান্ত্রিক। তবুও শুভকামনা।
I am trying to start a non profit to help stateless people , But I wonder if many of the people that BRAC help are stateless ?
hope. imagine better future
All humans represent humanity in why/when/how/where they all exist/live. Maybe next life we'll all do more than just contemplate or debate such ancient knowledge.
Super
And how can I assist from Malaysia,sir. ?.
good
Lets see how many dislikes ending poverty will get.
The joker in me wants to try one for you ☺️ but we seriously need all the hope we can get. Faith leads me to believe that we are learning a tremendous social lesson, but it would seem not at no cost
What reasons may make someone dislike ending poverty?
About 4% dislikes.
Share the world's resources, end poverty.
I think people get influences from great nations initiatives, it will be anything, like space mission, then people show their interest in space, but they will be in the dark face of reality if a problem like you mentioned in not come on the front, let me give a very good example, Butan initiate the climate change issue in Paris in the year 2004, but nobody was influenced because it is just a small county and might they thought this as a stuff thing, but today if you look, the Bhutan is in limelight because of his early initiative towards the real problem, from this incident, I believe that your idea toward the poverty elimination will never go waste, till that, just struggle for right and struggle for right.
Many Wishes from India!
Will be very much appreciated if you can sum up these four steps under the description part.
its 7 mins
You should start the sentence with a subject!
I presume a strong government as with good friends lift up those around them not tread them down
Indeed sharing a burden will allow us to collectively carry much more
“Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.”

Yo Bangladeshis raise your voice!
I already signed a petition and tweeted about it, what else do you want??
good one
Poverty is just like compound interest
I don't understand.
