The kind of work I'd like to be doing and more people should. Inspired by micro-finance pioneer Muhammad Yunus and his creation the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh, Lynne Randolph Patterson, works in La Paz, Bolivia to help working women. A teacher, Ms. Patterson is partners with Carmen Velasco, a psychologist. Together they formed Pro Mujer (Pro Woman) and it now serves 222,000 women in Bolivia, Peru, Mexico, Nicaragua and Argentina.
"It's not perfect but it's hard to think of a more effective way to support women."
