What is the Grameen Bank model — and why do we use it? 🌍
In the 1970s, economist Muhammad Yunus lent $27 of his own money to 42 villagers in Bangladesh who had been shut out of the financial system. Every cent was paid back.
From that simple act, the Grameen Bank was born — a model built on community over collateral, where small groups of borrowers support and hold each other accountable instead of needing credit scores or assets. By 2006, it had reached millions worldwide and earned Yunus the Nobel Peace Prize.
At Worldwise Microfinance, this is the foundation we build on. Because lasting change starts with trust, community, and the belief that everyone deserves a shot.
