Microcredit founder of Grameen bank urges business to make a difference!
Muhammed Yunus, founder of the Grameen Bank and Nobel Peace Prize winner 2006, is urging big business to make a difference in their hearts and not just their pockets. Yunus calls it ’social business’, a business which succeeds on helping other people not just for benefitting ourselves. A business that tackles chronic problems such as malnutrition, environmental decay and/or unemployment.
Yunus claims that human beings whilst being selfish we are also selfless, kind and do want to help people and make a difference to lives and make the planet better for ourselves.
We agree and support him. In particular we have a bank account with the Grameen bank here in Australia which loans money to the poorest of the poor to help end their poverty. It is a brilliant organisation and we encourage you to find out more if you too want to be effective in providing opportunity to those who have little choice in this world.
Visit: www.grameen.org.au and be inspired. For so little you can make a world of difference.
