 Despite
being known as “the poor man’s banker,”
Maria Nowak does not identify with that expression which,
she says, “ignores the creative wealth of the
most underprivileged members of society.” In
1989, she founded ADIE, the Association for Entrepreneurial
Rights, a microcredit institution modeled on the Grameen
Bank (Bangladesh), which she discovered while serving
as Director of Policy Research at the Agence Française
de Développement. |
