“Mamma Mia!” helmer Phylidda Lloyd is developing a feature project inspired by economist Muhammad Yunus’ revolutionary concept of micro-financing. Professor Yunus, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for his work, pioneered the use of micro-loans to people — predominantly women — in poor communities; program saw sums of as little as $27 loaned out, which allowed fund recipients to lift themselves up from poverty.

His Grameen bank has since loaned over $6 billion in Bangladesh and his work has been duplicated in more than 100 countries.
