Communities Around the World are Powered by Opportunity
Thank you for your partnership. Because of you, our clients have been able to capitalize on their talents and reach their potential. As their incomes grow, school fees are paid, homes are improved, health care is accessed and jobs are created, which benefits both families and larger communities. Our clients’ success radiates to everyone and everything that surrounds them, yielding community-wide improvements. At year-end 2011, Opportunity had nearly 2.7 million clients using loans to grow income-generating businesses. One million savings accounts provide stability to vulnerable families. The savings, loans, insurance, training and sense of community that Opportunity fosters all serve to power lasting change around the world.
