It can be implemented on the massive scale necessary to respond to the urgent needs of the world's poorest. And now, in this book, the author looks at the lives of micro-lending borrowers from the Grameen Foundation in Bangladesh and Chicago. All of the borrowers profiled here are women of little-to-no means, each struggling to gain financial independence. Readers will discover how, in Bangladesh, these women face off against very poor living conditions and the prejudice of men, while in Chicago, they must overcome crime and other hurdles that come with life in the inner city. A comprehensive look at the concept of micro-financing, it reveals how Muhammad Yunus and his concept of micro-financing has helped those living in poverty achieve real financial independence. 610 20 $a Grameen Bank. 600 10 $a Yunus, Muhammad, $d 1940- 650 0 $a Banks and banking $z Bangladesh. 650 0 $a Rural poor $z Bangladesh $x Economic conditions. 650 0 $a Poor $z Chicago Metropolitan Area $z Chicago Metropolitan Area $x Economic conditions. 650 0 $a Microfinance $z Developing countries. 700 1 $a Counts, Alex. $t Give us credit. 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0805/2007047639-d.html 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0805/2007047639-t.html 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0810/2007047639-b.html 941 $a 6 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20180523013840.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824083952.0 952 $l O3AX572 $d 20100405104944.0 952 $l OMAX631 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20090708133753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=69029F186BFF11DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IMVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
