Muhammad Yunus

In the heart of Bangladesh, a visionary economist named Muhammad Yunus saw beyond numbers and spreadsheets. He witnessed the struggle of the poor, trapped in a cycle of poverty, and dared to imagine a world where financial inclusion could change lives. Yunus's groundbreaking concept of microcredit revolutionized the fight against poverty, empowering millions of people, especially women, to become entrepreneurs. His Grameen Bank model proved that small loans could create big changes, challenging traditional banking systems and earning him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006. Today, Yunus's legacy continues to inspire social businesses worldwide, reminding us that compassion and innovation can transform societies and build a more equitable world for all.
