History of Muhammad Yunus • In 1976, during visits to the poorest households in the village of Jobra near Chittagong University, Yunus discovered that very small loans could make a disproportionate difference to a poor person. • His first loan, consisting of US$27.00 from his own pocket, was made to 42 women in the village • Yunus finally succeeded in securing a loan from the government Janata Bank to lend it to the poor in Jobra in December 1976. • The institution continued to operate by securing loans from other banks for its projects. By 1982, the bank had 28,000 members. On 1 October 1983 the pilot project began operations as a full-fledged bank and was renamed the Grameen Bank (Village Bank) to make loans to poor Bangladeshis.

Faces of Poverty
What have we learnt? • We learnt to be compassionate, to the impoverished. • We should always do whatever we can to help the needy, whether by just offering them some money for lunch, or even just to empathise with them. • Poverty is a serious matter, it could always lead to other problems. However, we must do whatever we can to prevent it from causing other problems.
What can we do to help the poor and needy? • We can donate to organisations that help to prevent the spread of poverty. • We can also pay more attention to the people in our community. If we see anyone who needs help, we should try our best to help and be compassionate to them
• We hope that you have learnt more about poverty. Please raise your awareness and always help out people because your kindness will never be forgotten. Acts 20:35 In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’’
