Grameen Bank makes microloans in areas of extremely low income to foster entrepreneurship and, most notably, to help people bring themselves out of poverty.
Grameen Bank considers groups of people with commercially viable skills (e.g., baker, carpenter, etc.) for loans and goes through a long process to determine (1) who gets the initial loan, (2) how much that loan will be, and (3) the follow-up lending opportunity.
The usual steps include the following:
* Contacting a Grameen Bank Branch and establishing the state of poverty in your hometown/village/etc
* Working with a Grameen Banker to better understand what your group wants to do and determine the commercial viability given market circumstances
* Go through a one-day course/seminar to better understand the 16 decisions and how those must factor into obtaining a successful loan
* Fill out application and take tests of knowledge
* One or more in your group may be awarded the first microloan and terms/conditions will be specific to the situation
* Demonstrate success with the loan by paying the loan off completely, providing the other members of the group with an opportunity to get a loan as well
