Fourteen years later, two million Bangladeshis have been able to start their own businesses. Aisha is one of Grameen's success stories. Dressed in a fuchsia pink sari, she chants with other Grameen borrowers: "unity, labour discipline". Originally so poor she couldn't provide food for her children, eight years later, she owns $4000 worth of weaving looms. She takes widow, Poribanu, to the bank building where she signs for a loan for $100. The bank believes women to be more credit worthy than men: they think long-term. Despite the finance minister's argument that money should go into infrastructure, the charismatic Yunus claims that this does not directly benefit the lives of the poor people. Poribanu remains convinced that she "god willing, can make further progress".
