Muhammad Yunus
Muhammad Yunus was born in 1940 in a village in Bangladesh. He obtained a scholarship to
study in the United States and earned a doctorate. He returned to Bangladesh in 1972 to teach
economics.
In 1974, Bangladesh suffered a terrible famine. Yunus decided that it was not enough to teach
economics and read textbooks. He needed to do something practical. What if these people were
able to receive tiny loans, or microcredit, to improve their situation?
Yunus started his project in a small village. He lent $27 to a group of forty-two villagers. They
made bamboo stools and bought a cow. And so, the Grameen Bank was born. The Grameen
Bank was very different from other banks. First, it provided very small loans. Second, it focused
on women borrowers. Yunus believed that women were better at using and repaying loans.
Third, only the very poorest people could obtain loans. The system was based on the trust of the
bank and the enterprise of the women borrowers. If the borrowers failed to repay, the bank
would fail. But it didn’t.
