In Bangladesh, a microbanking system exclusively targeted at female ‘entrepeneurs’ has been combined with a streamlined domestic construction process, transforming the possibilities of affordable housing for the rural poor. Dr Adnan Morshed tells Sharifa's story; how a very modest loan from the Grameen Bank allowed Sharifa and her family to build a house and to realise what amounts to very much more than even a permanent home.
