Credit markets were originally created to serve human needs; to provide businesses and individuals with capital to start or expand businesses or fulfill other financial needs.

I wanted to give money to people like this woman so that they would be free from the moneylenders to sell their product at the price which the markets gave them — which was much higher than what the trader was giving them.

Poverty is not created by poor people. It is produced by our failure to create institutions to support human capabilities.

Poverty is unnecessary.

I will not spend the money for myself. I will rather spend it in special business on a no-profit-no-loss policy. We will also establish an eye hospital where even beggars will be given treatment at the cost of Taka 10-20.

They explained to me that the bank cannot lend money to poor people because these people are not creditworthy.

Young people should think in a different way - they should be job givers not job seeker.
