A new wave of business

ANTON CARLOS

Some years ago, somewhere in a small underprivileged community in Bangladesh, one man came to the realization that there is potential for housewives to create and manage their own businesses to contribute to household income. This man created a business that allowed unbanked women to gain access to funding through micro-credit. He believed that everyone has the innate ability to become an entrepreneur but many lack the resources to become one. The business he created is called the Grameen Bank, one of the major forerunners of social businesses in the world.
