“Friends of Grameen” is a voluntary association established under the French law of 1901.
The purpose of the association is the promotion and development of microcredit and social business, in particular the microcredit activities of Grameen Bank and its affiliates.
The Honorary Committee is chaired by Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland and former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
The Executive Committee is chaired by Maria Nowak, President of ADIE, a pioneering French microfinance institution created in 1989.
One of the ongoing activities of Friends of Grameen is to raise awareness in the international media of the ongoing situation involving Professor Yunus and the Grameen Bank. Within this framework, Burson-Marsteller in Paris was hired by the organization to create this website.
