Micro Credit for Women: The Story of the Grameen Bank

For more than a decade, the Grameen Bank of Bangladesh has provided small business loans to struggling women—helping lift many out of poverty, while creating friction among some conservative Muslims. This two-part series describes how 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus launched the bank and demonstrates its profound effects on the lives of loan recipients. Beginning in the mid-1990s and following up a decade later, Micro Credit for Women visits entrepreneurs who have prospered and others who have fallen further into despair—as well as men who have changed their minds after first condemning the bank. The result is a rare, unflinching story of success mixed with uncertainty. Portions are in Bangla with English subtitles. 2-part series, 47-55 minutes each.
