Description

Opportunity  International  is  a global nonprofit organization that creates opportunities for entrepreneurs to build their businesses, children to go to school, farmers to feed their communities, and families to end the cycle of generational poverty. For nearly 50 years, we have developed innovative programs that use financial services, training, and support to address some of the greatest challenges facing those living in poverty around the world. Opportunity International invests in Africa's burgeoning youth population by developing technical vocational training programs that encourage and equip young people to pursue entrepreneurial ventures. Through targeted financial services, training, and support, Opportunity International creates opportunities for women to become powerful economic agents in their families and communities.
