Walkie Talkie Conversations



This paper Clarín date is another example of entrepreneurship in Argentina.
In Cre-In ® are lucky enough to meet one of the first precursor in this type of Banks in Mission, who has hired several times to make creative workshops for women entrepreneurs from different parts of the province.
I recommend you read the notes on every experience in: http://www.clarin.com/diario/2010/05/03/sociedad/s-02190470.htm
Here the first part:

Microcredit: a bank and paid a million dollars
The Grameen Bank, created by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, has spent 10 years in Argentina. No guarantees, grants loans to be repaid in minimum monthly payments. 90% of women who request them. Benefited 6,000 families throughout the country.

sounds strange, but it exists. There is a bank providing credit for micro-finance without demanding collateral in return. Only requires a moral commitment. And people respond. Such so does the Grameen Bank, also known as "the bank for the poor" - no longer expand and grow. Born in Bangladesh in 1976 and then moved around the world. In Argentina, where he spent ten years, and gave one million dollars to 6,000 families.
The creator of the bank, the Bangladeshi economist Muhammad Yunus received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for his efforts to encourage economic and social development from below. " The system is simple: it provides a small sum to be repaid weekly for one year, ie about 50 dues are paid with an interest that is almost laughable. Or you can cancel in 25 installments, order another, and so on.
"Most credit renewed for further progress," says Norberto Kleiman, president of Grameen Argentina (
www.grameenarg.org.ar ). In general, you start asking for 500 pesos, and that weekly returns is not even 10. "The system works because 90% of those who apply for loans are women," Kleiman admits. Realize that money functions as a "carrot", a hook to get people to approach. "We want to change their attitude. It happens because the job up self-esteem. They are people with ideas and enthusiasm, they do not want to give away anything they just need containment." For that weekly meetings are different groups. They are called aftershocks. Are all over the country.
