Grameen Bank - Bangladesh
Village near Chittagong, Bangladesh
Grameen Bank is owned 93% by its borrowers and several years ago they developed the “Struggling Members” program for beggars. This woman’s husband died several years prior and she was left to beg. Members of this Grameen program go door-to-door selling staple products like this betel nut leaf. They have no fixed repayment terms and pay only when they can.
