Shilmundi is a village in south eastern Bangladesh, very nearly the poorest and certainly the most densely populated country in the world. The inhabitants of Shilmundi live on the edge of poverty, for the big banks in Bangladesh - like so many other banks around the world - don't lend money to the rural poor. But the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee does. Set up to fight the overwhelming poverty of the 1970's, it's now the largest lender of micro-credit loans in the world. Three million village poor, virtually all women, take out loans of up to US$300 a year, and there's a ninety per cent repayment rate. Credit where credit is due recounts how taking out a loan revolutionized the lives of village women.
