New Yunus Social Business Centre to be established in Malaysia
Thursday, September 20, 2018
Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Sunway Education Group (SEG) founder Tan Sri Dr Jeffrey Cheah endorsing the establishment of the new Yunus Social Business Centre (YSBC) at the Sunway City campus.
Yunus, a Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2006, was awarded for his work in founding microcredit institution Grameen Bank.
To date, the bank has disbursed collateral-free loans of US$24 billion (RM99 billion) to around nine million borrowers who depend on microcredit loans to start enterprises that lift people out of poverty.
