Abstract
This paper discusses the Grameen philosophy of the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh and the way in which it has developed one way of fighting poverty for the women and children in the country. The paper briefly discusses the multi-layered ramifications of this unique approach in Bangladesh. It argues that due to cultural restrictions in Bangladesh the only way to raise the standard of living of women is through the process of microcredit empowerment.

From the Paper
"Preliminary evidence suggests that there have been significant benefits to both women and children through the process of empowering their economic mobility. Analysis from Barbara Haley, in a study done by the Canadian International Development Agency in 2001, suggests that 58% of women clients at Grameen had in fact crossed the extreme poverty line, compared to 18% of non-members. Crossing the poverty line is defined as "annual income sufficient to provide each family member with a daily intake of 1,800 calories."35 Of the remaining 42% of clients who failed to cross the poverty line, 60% had experienced a serious illness in the family. Grameen loans prevented these families from coalescing into worse economic conditions, however they were not sufficient enough to cross the extreme poverty line.36"

Abstract
The paper introduces the successful Grameen Bank experiment in Bangladesh, by its founder the economist Professor Yunus Muhammad. The paper discusses methods and results and further discusses Muhammad's model, which makes use of peasant ingenuity and the need for success in very poor economies. The paper examines how the loopholes of macroeconomic or other theoretical approaches are important to the study of geography.
From the Paper
"This article by the individual to create the now world - famous Grameen Bank project provides a summary of how the Bank came into being. In 1972, Professor Yunus Muhammad had returned from Vanderbilt University where he had completed his Ph.D. to teach economics at Chittagong University. Bangladesh had just gained its independence from Pakistan of which it no longer represented one wing, separated by many miles from the more prosperous West Pakistan. Muhammad was inspired by the potential of his country, now that problems of membership in Pakistan were gone."

Abstract
This proposed project is an effort to help landless farmers in rural Sri Lanka, a country beset by civil war since 1983. Early Grameen ventures in Bangladesh enabled peasants to buy implements. Landless peasants were helped to buy milch cows to better feed their children and create milk-selling opportunities. Grameen styled projects can now involve computer or telephone networks, or other small businesses created by former peasants.
