Go Back To Search Results Question Does anyone recall the database started so people could provide small business loans to developing countries? I saw it on TV a year or so ago. If I'm not mistaken, the creator was in the running for the Nobel Prize. It was started so anyone who had some money to invest, could provide small loans to individuals in developing countries to start their own businesses. Then the loans were repaid with interest and the satisfaction of helping develope the economy of a small country. I think the preliminaries were had positive results, as people were repaying as they should. Does anyone have any information on it or a link?
