Opportunity International United Kingdom
Registered charity 1008372
Registration Date: 02/17/92
In nearly all developing countries, a significant proportion of the population survives by running small businesses, usually from the home. However for 98% of people living in poverty, gaining access to money to start and maintain such a business is almost impossible. Banks will not lend to them, so they must rely on family or moneylenders who charge exorbitant interest rates.Opportunity International is a specialist in microfinance, offering small loans, training and financial services to clients. We work to create jobs, stimulate small businesses and local economies and strengthen communities - a sustainable approach to tackling poverty. Part of the Opportunity Network, an international Christian based grouping of 48 organisations working in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America, we have helped to create over 1,000, 000 jobs since 1971. We are part of the worldwide micro-enterprise movement working towards providing access to basic financial services to 100 million of the world's poorest families by 2005.
