A NOTE FROM MUHAMMAD YUNUS

Microcredit is not about money. It's about dignity. It's about opening doors... At Grameen Bank, we think of credit as a human right. The myth that credit is the privilege of a few fortunate people needs to be exploded. Credit can equip a dispossessed person to fight the economic odds. With massive unemployment and limited resources in developing countries, there are strong arguments for credit based on sound economic reasons. Access to credit must be a central part of any serious attack on poverty.
