Coined As Banker To The Poor
Yunus began providing tiny loans (as small as Rs 2000) to women in rural Bangladesh to start small businesses, such as poultry farming, weaving, or selling goods. The loans were offered without collateral, with repayment based on trust and peer pressure. This approach helped millions lift themselves out of poverty, earning Yunus the nickname “Banker to the Poor.” (Image Credit: Wikipedia)
