Muhammad Yunus announces financing in Haiti
(AP) – 21 hours ago
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Nobel peace laureate Mohammad Yunus announced Saturday that his pro-business development group is financing several endeavors through a mix of loans and equity.



The projects that incorporate Yunus' development philosophy of "social business" include two poultry farms, a bakery and a plantation of jatropha plants that can be used for biodiesel, offering an alternative energy source while creating jobs for 200 farmers.

The amount invested in each will range from $80,000 to $500,000, and feature loans with interest rates ranging from 6-10 percent.

Such "social businesses" must each have a social mission like a non-governmental organization, but also generate revenues to cover costs like a profit-making business.

Yunus, an international development expert, made the announcement on the first of a three-day trip to Haiti that includes field visits and a conference examining ways to use his development philosophy to ease poverty in Haiti.

It was the second time Yunus had come to Haiti since visiting a year ago to introduce his "social business" philosophy to the impoverished Caribbean nation. The country is still recovering from a January 2010 earthquake that toppled thousands of buildings and displaced more than 1 million people.

The Germany-based Yunus Social Business Fund, formerly the Grameen Creative Lab, opened an office in Haiti after the temblor.

Yunus is a Bangladeshi banker known for developing a microcredit program for entrepreneurs who were too poor to qualify for traditional bank loans.

He sits on a board of more than 30 philanthropists, former government leaders and executives that advise Haitian President Michel Martelly on economic matters. Former President Clinton, also the United Nations special envoy to Haiti, is a co-chairman.

Yunus also plans to launch a nationwide social business competition for university students before leaving Haiti on Monday.

For sure it is a promotion for Islam.

Haiti is the safe haven for Islam is American, currently Haiti is at prey of all the Arabs countries. The Syrian cricis sends thousand more Syrians and al-Jazeera almost moves its head quarters in Haiti.

Because Haiti is poor, not governed all extremists view Haiti's proximity to the US as a proxy land where they can come and establish themselves. Additionally, currently the Arabs dominates the political powers in Haiti.

There is no hope for Haiti if we seats and let Islam takes over.

Mèsi Alex. Se reyaksyon konsa mwen ta p chèche lè m poste nouvel saa.
Ayisyen toujou rete chita san gade, men lè yo finn pran lan pièj, se lè saa yon mande anraje.
Reyaksyon ki twô ta.

Ong yo ap fè anpil lajan sou do malere pandan ya p bat lestomak yo komsi ya p ede peyi ki pi pôv lan....

Nou deja pran lann konplo pwotestan meriken, se pou nou veye konplo mizilman arab.
Ayisyen kapab kanpe pou tèt yo e chwazi sa ki bon pou yo.
