Brown U. Student from NH Learns about Microcredit

The Keene Sentinel recently ran an interesting article about Joschka Tryba, a Brown University business economics student who comes from Harrisville, NH.

Mr. Tryba recently spent a month interning at Grameen Bank in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. Grameen Bank is a not-for-profit microlender that specializes in lending to Bangladesh’s poor, primarily women. The bank's model, which has made a significant difference in easing poverty in Bangladesh, has been repeated around the world by other banks and nonprofits.
