This year at the Opportunity Summits, we interviewed our friends with a simple question: Who gave you your first opportunity? For some, it was their parents. For others, it was their boss or a teacher. But no matter who our friends recognized, one thing remained constant: these opportunity-givers were world-changers. They had shaped the course of other people's futures by recognizing their potential and helping them reach their goals. And they had made an unforgettable impact on someone's life.

See what our friends had to say, and then learn how you can give a woman in poverty the opportunityto grow her business and provide for her family.
