Albina du Boisrouvray, founder of the FXB Foundation, has a Muhammad Yunus story.
When the countess, global philanthropist and social entrepreneur began to think about the shape her philanthropic contributions should take, most people advised her to go with the flow and deliver microcredit.
“The trend … was, give a small business through microcredit … I said no, I’m not going to give microcredit,” du Boisrouvray told Devex. “What about the rights of the children, access to what they need? How about raising them? How about leaving the place?”
