The Grameen Caledonian College of Nursing (GCCN) at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) has won a Unilever International Award for demonstrating that businesses can make a positive difference to global development. The Unilever International Award recognises businesses which demonstrate positive impact against one or more of the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals - targets designed to promote development in areas such promoting education, improving healthcare and reducing child poverty. GCU was recognised for its work with the Grameen Healthcare Trust in co-founding the Grameen Caledonian College of Nursing (GCCN). GCCN was established in 2010 in Dhaka, Bangladesh to provide disadvantaged young women with access to international standard nursing education and clinical practice, in the process raising the status of the profession in Bangladesh and providing opportunities, education and leadership training to women from impoverished backgrounds across the country.
