Nobel Peace Prize 2006
Worthy cause and a worthy individual. The Nobel peace prize for 2006 would be shared equally between Grameen Bank and its founder Muhammed Yunus. The nobel citation reads , " for their efforts to create economic and social development from below".
A pioneer in micro credit, Grameen has helped disburse tiny loans to millions of poor people who would have otherwise never gotten a loan from elsewhere. It now has more than two dozen organizations in the Grameen family.
