What was your experience like? رابط الدرس الرقمي www.ien.edu.sa Simple Ideas, BIG Results Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize Winner Muhammad Yunus, often called "the world's banker to the poor," received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for his pioneering work against poverty. Yunus said he would use the $1.35 million prize money to "find more innovative ways" to help the poor. Yunus founded the Grameen Bank in 1976 with just $27 from his own pocket. The idea 5 came to him while he was teaching economics at Chittagong University in southern Bangladesh, which is one of the poorest nations in the world. He and his students started an experimental project: They lent poor people small amounts of money. The people used the money for their own small businesses; for example, to buy straw to make stools. Until then, the local people relied on local moneylenders who were not 10 always fair. Since then, the Grameen Bank model has been duplicated in more than 100 countries. Today, the bank has over 9 million borrowers and over 2,500 branches in over 81,000 villages in Bangladesh. The bank also started a program to give poor people a loan of about $9 to purchase small items such as bread, candy, pickles, and toys. Receivers of the loans then resell the goods to supplement their income. The bank reports that it has lent 15 $24 billion over the past 38 years and claims a high repayment rate- 99.6 percent. Nowadays Grameen Banks are also in developed countries. One hundred people in Queens, New York, were among the first borrowers of Grameen America. The total number of borrowers worldwide is 100 million.* Mohammed Abdul Latif Jameel, Businessman and Philanthropist Mohammed Abdul Latif Jameel has received many awards for his humanitarian work to solve the crisis of poverty around the world. In 2012, he was named "Saudi Volunteer 20 of the Year" for establishing job creation programs in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. Unemployment is the main cause of poverty, and Jameel realizes that governments need the support of businesses to solve the problem. Jameel says, "My father taught me an important lesson in running a business: never to forget that life is not just about you—it is about what you can do for others." 25 Jameel studied at MIT where he joined the Poverty Action Lab. In 2005, he made a huge donation to the organization, and it was renamed J-PAL in honor of his father, Abdul Latif Jameel. J-PAL is a group of expert researchers whose mission is to reduce poverty in the world by finding scientifically-based solutions. In Saudi Arabia, he established the Abdul Latif Jameel Community Initiatives program (ALJCI). One project of ALJCI is Bab Rizq Jameel (BRJ), which focuses on creating job opportunities. Between 2003 and 2012, BRJ created more than 230,000 jobs in 30 the Kingdom and over 300,000 in the Middle East. ALJCI also supports projects in business financing, education and training, health, and art and culture.** 30/4/24 12:33 AM pilillä Ministry Oation' 2024-1446 Adapted from: Wikipedia contributors.
