Creating a World Without Poverty
Available nationwide January 7, 2008
“By giving poor people the power to help themselves, Dr. Yunus has offered them something far more valuable than a plate of food—security in its most fundamental form.” —Former President Jimmy Carter
Grameen Foundation board member and Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus will be visiting communities around the nation to outline his vision for a new business model that combines the power of free markets with the quest for a more humane world—and tell the inspiring stories of companies that are doing this work today.
