Yunus Social Business
Yunus Social Business believes in the power of business to end poverty. We were founded by Peace Nobel Laureate Prof. Yunus and Saskia Bruysten to expand the success of social business from Bangladesh around the world. Our Philanthropic Venture Funds grow local social businesses that provide employment, education, healthcare, clean water and clean energy to over 13 million people in East Africa, Latin America & India. We turn donations into investments in social businesses, which we reinvest over and over again, multiplying the impact each time. Our long-term, patient loans and hands-on growth support are delivered by our team of local professionals, allowing our social businesses to flourish. Our Corporate Initiatives have guided multinationals (incl. Danone, Veolia, McCain, MAN, Tata) to apply their core competencies to some of the greatest human challenges. “A charity dollar has one life, a Social Business dollar can be invested over and over again” www.yunussb.com
