Opportunity International
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!

Our Vision

A world of protection and opportunity for children living alone and at risk on the streets.

Railway Children is an international children's charity. We fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation.

In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.

They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story.

Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Our pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.

What if I change my mind?
