// Deutsche Bank supported microcredits early on, contributing both funding and new ideas. Then in 2005, it set up a microfinance consortium, which is ultimately good for a total credit volume of U. S. $ 600 million per annum. We need many more such initiatives globally. Ideas are good. Actions are better.
Professor Muhammad Yunus, 2006 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, founder of Grameen Bank, Dhaka

Promoting economic research |
In 2006 we supported projects in research and economics with funding of around € 9 million. Our primary aim is to improve the international networks and competitive position of German universities and encourage the transfer of knowledge between institutions of higher education and the business world. | |||

Education programs for AIDS orphans in Africa and Asia |
The Deutsche Bank foundations in Africa and Asia support regional education and social integration programs for AIDS orphans. In Africa, over 25,000 children have benefitted from such programs, and in Asia our initiatives have touched almost 15,000 individuals. | |||

Disaster relief |
For the victims of the tsunami and earthquake in Asia at the end of 2004 and 2005 respectively, Deutsche Bank, customers, and staff donated a total of € 15.5 million and were also personally active in reconstruction efforts on-site. All grants have been allocated, and information on the projects financed can be found at www.disasterrelief.db.com. | |||
