Complete video at: fora.tv Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize winner and founder of The Grameen Bank, explains his “social business” model, a plan for addressing social issues through entrepreneurship. This program was recorded in joint collaboration with the Commonwealth Club of California and Link TV. —- Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize winner and founder of The Grameen Bank, speaks about his new book Creating a World Without Poverty. Muhammad Yunus is founder and managing director of the Grameen Bank, established in Bangladesh in 1983. Dr. Yunus founded the bank with the objective of helping poor people escape from poverty by providing loans on terms suitable to them and by teaching them a few sound principles of finances so they can help themselves. The Grameen Bank has advanced to the forefront of a burgeoning world movement toward eradicating poverty through micro-lending and its model has been replicated in over 100 countries worldwide. In 2006, Dr. Yunus was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the Bank.

  Great ideas and everything…but you need those rich folks in the first place to get the funing for these organizations. Id love to run a non for profit, but i need a small business in the first place to even DREAM of having enough overhead to pull it off. The guy is clearly selfless and a huge inspiration, but he also is kinda dreaming unless that room is full of people with deep pockets.

  I hope the next person to win a Nobel prize is Salman Khan for creating ‘Khan Academy’. Bringing free education to the world on a scale never seen before.

  naomee1 December 9, 2011 at 11:36 PM

  @Passiflora101 He is from my country that is “Bangladesh”, so we know better…:). and it is in his full name Dr. Muhammad Yunus…Muhammad, so muslim..right??

  here u can know about him & his work better…:)
• 
  Passiflora101 December 10, 2011 at 12:11 AM

  @naomee1 An afterthought…. The “theme” may be found in the Quran, (as assisting the poor is also found in the Bible,) but where are you finding the info that Yunus is a Muslim?
• 
  Passiflora101 December 10, 2011 at 1:11 AM

  @naomee1 Ok…great! If that is so, thanks for pointing it out. There are positive aspects to every major religious belief, with one very important difference – which one leads to salvation? One one is a salvation based on faith alone, (Sola Fide,) while everything else is a belief that one can somehow earn salvation, based on one’s works/deeds. But that’s not the topic of this video. You might want to find out more about your Quran & hadiths by visiting a site called Answering Islam.

  naomee1 December 10, 2011 at 1:25 AM

  @Passiflora101 he is a muslim… and these are the themes of islam or quaran… and prophet Muhammad (SM) told hadeses about these… i can’t tell u from exactly the name of Sura, which tell these words, bt definitely it is from Quar-an!!!..:)

  This lovely & wise gentleman may (or may not) be a Hindu, but he’s teaching a Biblical principle…”Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.” Phil 2:3-4

  @DAMandDIE in some cases the microfinance idea has been misused, people abused the system of microfinance. They saw it as a tool to make money from the poor. Please watch the video below. You’ll understand what went wrong. I’m not saying that poor people haven’t been robbed from money. I”m saying other people misused the idea of Dr. Muhammad Yunus. Why does he has to be treated this way, if others abuse it?

  Please try to understand this, and try to highlight everyone else who have got the wrong idea about Grameen know. They don’t know the truth. It may have been that it went wrong in some cases. But because of the design and because of proper implementation. Please don’t break what good is left on this world!
