Rebuilding Through Social Enterpreneurship
| |
| On television in Bangladesh, I watched with great sadness the horrors Katrina unleashed on New
Orleans and the Gulf Coast. I was so tempted to be there to participate in post-disaster activities,
as we have so much experience with these kinds of disasters. But I knew my American friends
did, too. Having studied at Vanderbilt and traveled extensively in the affected areas names of
places and faces of people were so familiar. A friend of mine from Ecuador even sent me a
picture taken in Biloxi 39 years back to remind ourselves that we were there! |

| Andrea has been making textile handicrafts for the last twelve years. At 36, she is married and has 6 children. Before she became a client of Grameen Foundation partner AlSol, she embroidered her fabric and maintained a small production.

Women and Micro-credit
| |
| Since the establishment of the Grameen Bank as a micro-credit delivery model, many programmes
have rushed to replicate the relative success and in doing so, a lot of attention has been given to
female micro-credit borrowers. Women were specifically targeted because they make up the majority
of the poorest of the poor in the rural areas and are responsible for the social and economic
welfare of the family. |
