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!
Not only is Payroll Giving super simple, but it's also tax effective. How come? Your donation gets deducted before you pay the taxman. For example, if you donate £5, the cost to you in your take-home pay is £4 and the taxman pays the rest!
What if I change my mind?
No worries! You can cancel your donation, change the amount or even which charities you would like to support, at any time.
