The world of banking, saving and finance throws the best of us off balance. Before you think this is another lecture about how important it is to save(it kind of is!), let me tell you that this is a story of a man who set out to help the poor – not by giving them money, but by giving them advice on how to save theirs.
This inspiring short film by Pilgrim Films documents the story of a bank manager from South India, who realized that economic growth for the poor is possible, and the problem lies not in the people, but the private money lenders from whom they borrow money at very high interest rates. He enouraged villagers and beggars to open bank accounts and save money, so that they could not only start their own business, but the business in turn would help the community.
In today’s world, it is very hard to find people who help others without seeking something out of it. This man will definitely restore your faith in humanity.
