Muhammad Yunus delivered a lecture on the evening of Monday 20^th May entitled Banker to the Poor: Lifting Millions out of Poverty through Social Business. As the title suggests, Professor Yunus advocated a social business model, a concept that describes socially-driven commercial activity, using a series of examples from his microfinance initiative known as the ‘Grameen Bank’. These included Grameen Danone, a joint social business venture between Grameen and Danone Foods to address the issue of malnutrition among children in Bangladesh.
