Provide a hand up, not a hand-out, to thousands in urgent need of an opportunity

Nearly half the world - 2.7 billion people - live in poverty and struggle to survive on less than US$2 a day. All they need is an opportunity so they can help themselves. You can help today.

Opportunity International assists people to transform their lives through access to small business loans and access to financial services. A small loan can help a woman start a business, earn an income, support her children and provide for their families.

Every donation makes a lasting, sustainable difference

• With an increased income, a family can begin to afford better food, proper shelter, medical care and an education for their children. Loans are used to expand their businesses, to employ others - creating a ripple effect throughout the community.
• Opportunity International have a loan repayment rate of 97%! Once a client repays their loan, it is re-lent to someone else - meaning your donation is recycled and helps more and more people in their journey out of poverty.
