Miller describes development on page 260 as "change directed toward improving human welfare.â It also goes on to add that a focus of development is trying to reduce poverty. This picture also fits to describe development because thats the focus of the Grameen Bank, they âare committed to developing and championing sustainable solutions that expand financial inclusion, improve livelihoods and enhance health."Personally, I believe that the organizations that want to provide people with the self-help tools to reduce poverty and hunger is the best way to go about development instead of just giving people money. Â If I were to do anthropological fieldwork, I would want to explore the differences between Grameen Bank and Fonkoze, which focuses on similar issues. Both of these institutions work to serve the poor and ultra-poor in Haiti. I would be interested to see the impacts both of these institutions have had on the population. Furthermore, through further investigation, I would be able to have specific case studies to see what has worked in Haiti and what has not been effective.
Miller describes micro-credit loan on page 261 as a âSmall cash loan made to low-income people to support to an income-generating activityâ For my organization, we had to go a talk with the president of Grameen Bank Steve Hollingworth about development and Microfinancing. I took a picture of the flyer because I believe that it fits with Miller chapter 13 âPeople Defining Development.â The Grameen Bank focuses on giving poor people in Bangladesh and some other places small loans, also known as micro credit, most of them being women. By today, The bank had provided micro-loans and other services to around 23 million people. And in 2016, âFreedom for Hunger"a non profit and the "Grameen Bank"joined forces and now they are focusing on providing women with tools that they can help themselves to reduce hunger and poverty. If I were to do field work, I would want to learn about instances where micro-crediting doesnât work/If they are instances where it does not work and what to do if it happens.
