WE ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF TRANSFORMATION
Opportunity International Canada is a charity driven by the belief that everyone has the right to live their lives with dignity. We all deserve to hold our heads high, to send our children to school, to have a say in our households. But without access to financial services, a better life may be just out of reach.
Nearly 1 billion people in the world are like Paula —driven, eager for change, working for her family—but can’t get the traction she needs to escape poverty. She has an entrepreneurial spirit without a business bank account. She already has a plan. She just needs an opportunity.
WHO WE WORK FOR
We call them “clients” because we’re here to serve them. Each client receives the tools to maximize their potential, run their own business and protect their hard-earned income. We invest in them because when they work their way out of poverty, they drive change for generations to come.
Paula is a restaurant owner in Honduras.
