Key Information

Opportunity works from the inside-out. We invest in parents and educators who are committed to making sure the children in their underserved communities have a chance to escape poverty by getting an education. We empower them with the financial tools and training they need to make sure that children can not only go to school, but also receive a quality education essential for their future success. We start with financing, a critical first step in sending and keeping kids in school. With a School Fee loan, a mother can send her daughter to a nearby school that has bus for transportation, small class sizes, as well as books and computers
