Empowering Women to Save
Opportunity International realizes that a key part of empowering women to fight poverty lies in providing them with tools to save their money.
In 2008, Opportunity International embarked on its most ambitious effort to date, a $123.6 million Banking
on Africa campaign to expand financial services for poor families throughout sub-Saharan Africa, including Rwanda. With your partnership, we celebrate the successful completion of the fundraising efforts and we press on toward Banking on Africa’s goal: reaching 5 million clients in Africa by 2015 to impact 30 million people.
In Rwanda, deposit clients have increased by over 65% to 75,029 by the end of 2011. Loan clients have increased from 30,381 in 2010 to 40,662 in 2011.
Your support is helping women save for their future, and protect the dreams of themselves and their children.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
