This Thursday at Change we will be hosting a talk by Jason Hahn, a Business Development Manager at the Grameen Foundation<http://www.grameenfoundation.org/>. Jason works to identify new opportunities to use Grameen?s products on behalf of the poor and poorest and support programs in the field. On Thursday, Jason will be speaking about Grameen?s current mobile programs to support agriculture, health, and financial services, with a particular focus on agricultural work. An overview of the Grameen Foundation is given below, but also check out the Grameen AppLabblog<http://www.grameenfoundation.applab.org/applab-blog/> for more information about projects!
*At Grameen Foundation our goal is simple ? we want to see poor people, especially the poorest and those living in harder to reach areas, have access to microfinance and technology and as a result of access to these services, move themselves out of poverty. We envision a world where the poor have broken the generational chain of poverty and lead lives of respect, dignity and opportunity. Grameen Foundation, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Washington, DC with an office in Seattle, Washington, was founded in 1997 by friends of Grameen Bank to help microfinance practitioners and spread the Grameen philosophy worldwide. We share the ideas of 2006 Nobel Peace Laureate Muhammad Yunus. Grameen Foundation and Grameen Bank are independent organizations and have no financial or institutional links.* Please join us for sandwiches, and to learn more about the Grameen Foundation?s mobile programs! *What:* Jason Hahn on the Grameen Foundation?s Mobile Programs *When:* Thursday, May 5th at noon *Where:* Paul Allen Center, Room 203 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
