I just read an amazing interview with the guy that invented the Grameen bank. It is a micro-lending institution that has one goal. Help poor people get ahead by lending them small amounts of money for omey making endeavors. It was started by an economics professor in Bangladesh and today they currently lend to more than 7 million people, 97% of whom are women.
This is a truly inspirational story about how as individuals we can really make the world a better place.
You can read the whole interview here.
"Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb."
Sir Winston Churchill
