LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT
AWARD RECIPIENT AND KEYNOTE SPEAKER
MUHAMMAD YUNUS
2006 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Founder of the Grameen Bank  the Yunus Centre
Muhammad Yunus is a Bangladeshi social entrepreneur and pioneer of
the microcredit and microfinance concepts in development economics.
By founding the Grameen Bank, Yunus awarded loans to entrepreneurs
too poor to receive loans from traditional banks. This grassroots,
bottom-up, approach to development and improving the lives of
others is what earned Yunus the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize. Yunus and
the Grameen Bank have allowed the most impoverished individuals a
chance at building a better life for themselves, their families, and the
world around them.
In recent years, Yunus has received numerous awards naming him one
of the world’s top social innovators. In 2008, Foreign Policy magazine
ranked Yunus #2 in its list of the world’s top 100 global thinkers. In
2009, Yunus received the United States Presidential Medal of Freedom,
and he was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2010. Yunus sits
on the board of directors at the United Nations Foundation, as well
as on a multitude of college and university boards around the world.
BRIGHT STAR MOBILE LIBRARY
SAEED MALIK
Saeed A. Malik decided to act on his dream of educating
the young generation and infusing them with knowledge
after serving as an international civil servant with the United Nations for over
25 years. His aim was to provide children with books that entertain, inform,
and evoke their curiosity; helping them develop awareness of the world
around them, while fostering questioning minds and promoting tolerance.
Malik’s novel initiative comes as the launch of a mobile library for children,
called the Bright Star Mobile Library. The library is presently established
inside two vans that carry over 1,000 books and patrol primary and junior
schools in the rural areas of Islamabad, keeping vigilant for prospective
borrowers and learners.

reduction projects including microfinance, maternal and infant health,
the New Great Wall, Project Angel, and various disaster relief efforts.
As China’s largest non-governmental organization, CFPA is able to effectively
reduce poverty for poor communities in China through various grassroots
management initiatives. The disaster relief projects in particular have been very
successful in providing recovery during Indonesian tsunamis, U.S. Hurricane
Katrina, the Pakistan earthquake, typhoon in Burma, Haiti earthquake, tsunami
in Japan, and several others. Due to this disaster preparedness infrastructure,
Give2Asia has partnered with CFPA for disaster relief efforts in Nepal.

In recent years, Yunus has received numerous awards naming him one of the world’s top social innovators. In 2008, Foreign Policy magazine ranked Yunus #2 in its list of the world’s top 100 global thinkers.
