Today Noble Peace Price winner Muhammed Yunus came to speak at my campus (University of Washington) and I was absolutley inspired by his amazing contributions to humanity. Muhammad Yunus is founder of the Grameen Bank, a system of micro-credit in Bangladesh designed to bring hundreds of thousands of people out of poverty. 'Grameen', he claims, 'is a message of hope, a programme for putting homelessness and destitution in a museum so that one day our children will visit it and ask how we could have allowed such a terrible thing to go on for so long'. The World Bank recently acknowledged that 'this business approach to the alleviation of poverty has allowed millions of individuals to work their way out of poverty with dignity'. Credit is the last hope left to those faced with absolute poverty. That is why Muhammad Yunus believes that the right to credit should be recognized as a fundamental human right. He is truly an inspiring man!
