Muhammad Yunus

In 1976, Muhammad Yunus founded the Grameen Bank to make loans to poor Bangladeshis. The success of the Grameen model has inspired similar efforts throughout the developing world and even in industrialized nations including the USA. His methods have also been applied to Burma and in Kosovo with great success and he is now embarking upon an effort to eliminate global poverty.

Muhammad is a highly charismatic figure with a wealth of innovative ideas and the power to help thousands of people to decide their own destiny. He has shown himself to be a leader who has managed to translate visions into practical action for the benefit of millions of people, not only in Bangladesh, but also in many other countries. He carefully explains to audiences his ideas and lays the foundations for the successful implementation of his model which is eradicating poverty around the globe.

An empowering and emotive speaker, Muhammad talks passionately about his goals and dreams and leaves audiences inspired with his simple yet effective ideas.
