“Grameen believes that charity is not an answer to poverty. It only helps poverty to continue,” wrote Yunus in September 2004. “It creates dependency and takes away individual initiative to break through the wall of poverty. Unleashing of energy and creativity in each human being is the answer to poverty.”

If this program leads to people overthrowing their corrupt and totalitarian governments (the darlings of leftists and the UN) I'm all for it. But my comments are based on what I read at the link in post #14. It looks like a program designed to lead to little more than a better poverty. I found it interesting that 90% of the loan recipients are women. Additionally it was implied that their husbands are their oppressors, not their government.

And perhaps that's a vast improvement. Remember where these folks live...
