Small Business Development Centers Salute Mohammed Yunus • “The one message that we are trying to promote (is) that poverty in the world is an artificial creation... We have to ... redesign our institutions and policies, and there will be no people who will be suffering from poverty. So I would hope that this award will make this message heard many times, and in a kind of forceful way, so that people start believing that we can create a poverty-free world. We didn't do anything special … all we did was lend money to (poor) people, and that … makes the change.” • Muhammad Yunus • in an interview with the Nobel Foundation upon learning of his receipt of the Peace Prize
