Whole Planet Foundation was born
out of Whole Foods Market's desire
to give something back to those
who have helped us succeed while
focusing on the persistent problem
of world poverty and hunger. The
foundation was formed with the
entrepreneurial spirit of Whole
Foods Market in partnership with
Professor Muhammad Yunus and
Grameen Bank, co-recipients of
2006
Nobel Peace Prize.

"
Microcredit ignites the /ny economic engines
of the rejected underclass of society. Once a
large number of /ny engines start working,
the stage can be set for bigger things." ~
