Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank

Well done, members of the Nobel Peace Prize committee!
Letting Muhammad Yunus (founder of Grameen Bank) and Grameen Bank share the 2006 prize - what a great way to show you are supporting the fight to end poverty in the world.
Grameen Bank is in the business of micro-credit, it offers loans to poor people with no collateral. Loan amounts range from $50 to $100, and they enable people (mainly women) to start their own small businesses. Women make up almost all the customers of Grameen Bank.
Muhammad Yunus had a vision and he made it happen. His actions has benefited millions of people. What an inspiration to us all!
