Opportunity International provides microfinance - small loans, savings, insurance and training - to the world's poorest people who want to work their own way out of poverty.
A micro loan to a poor entrepreneur is used to start or expand a business, providing an income, dignity of work and hope for the future.
This finance is not a 'hand-out', but a 'hand up'. 98% of loans are paid back and lent out again, so a donation to Opportunity is a gift that keeps on giving!
Donations can be made to any UK registered national/local charity or recognised good cause such as places of worship, schools and scout groups. Get inspiration using the ‘choosing a charity’ link above!
You can nominate more than one charity to benefit from your donations - and you can easily change the amount or nominated charities at any time.
If your chosen charity is not listed on this site you can still support them, just make sure to include their charity number so there is no delay in forwarding on your donation.
