Yunus & Grameen :-)

“The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2006…to Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank for their efforts to create economic and social development from below. Lasting peace cannot be achieved unless large population groups find ways in which to break out of poverty. Microcredit is one such means. Development from below also serves to advance democracy and human rights.”

Norwegian Nobel Committee, October 2006
