Accelerate the End of Global Poverty
Poverty is brutally simple: the lack of a sustainable livelihood means impossible choices around food, health, and school. For 55 years, Opportunity International has been a multiplier, working with local banks to put income-generating loans, training, and support directly in the hands of families, so they can build businesses, strengthen farms, and secure their future themselves. That's the accelerator you can be the start of—helping more families break the cycle of poverty once and for all.

“Since I started attending training from Opportunity, I’ve been able to improve my life and my family’s.”
Diane is a mother of three and runs a farm with her husband in Rwanda, one of the world's poorest countries. By joining an Opportunity savings group, she received agricultural trainings and gained access to small loans that she used to invest in her farm and buy a cow. Now she can afford shoes, fruits, and eggs for her children, and anything they need at home.
Every $1 you give becomes $10 in loans
Because we work with 148 trusted financial partners every $1 you give helps build programs, training, and wider support that unlock $10 in loans for entrepreneurs. That's real money in the hands of people working their way out of poverty.
