If the basic structure of Grameen is changed, the worry is that the poor women who are the rightful owners of the bank will be disenfranchised.

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

The poor themselves can create a poverty-free world. All we have to do is to free them from the chains that we have put around them!

Charity only perpetuates poverty by taking the initiative away from the poor.

The able bodied poor don't want or need charity.... All they need is financial capital.

Poverty is unnecessary.

By simply capitalizing on core strengths and knowledge, companies and entrepreneurs can engage in an emerging business model that will enable them to create - and demonstrate - real, sustainable social impact in society.
