Grameen Foundation

Grameen Foundation was founded in 1997 to help the world’s poor address their own unique needs. They believe that all of us desire to improve Their lives, and that all of us – even the poorest among us – can reach Their full potential if They are given access to the right tools and information. Their work focuses on harnessing the underappreciated strengths of the poor, an approach inspired by Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh. Grameen Foundation President Alex Counts also trained under and worked closely with Professor Yunus in Bangladesh for six years. While Professor Yunus is a founding director and a current director emeritus of Their board, Grameen Foundation and Grameen Bank are independent organizations and have no financial or institutional links.
