This book describes the first three years of a Malaysian project that was the first to replicate the Grameen Bank outside of Bangladesh and that today serves half of Malaysia’s poor families. An account, by the two founders, of Project Ikhtiar, its adaptations, errors and lessons learned and its institutionalisation into Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia, now the oldest and largest replication in Asia of the Grameen Bank.
