economics at Chittagong University when he realized the
power small loans could have on poor communities. His
first loan was $27 USD given from his own pocket to the
women of a local village. Yunus continued to provide loans
on a larger and larger scale until Grameen Bank was
incorporated in 1983. Grameen Bank focuses on micro
lending and has lent billions of dollars to millions of
borrowers throughout the country, the majority of whom
are women. The micro-credit model has inspired similar
efforts in over 100 countries around the world even before
its recognition by the Nobel Committee.
