Opportunity International

Opportunity International serves hardworking, inspiring entrepreneurs around the world. We provide access to loans, savings, insurance and training. Tools that empower people to work their own way out of poverty. We provide a hand up, not a handout.

Meet Therese

Meet Therese
In 2019 Therese’s husband was abducted by militia in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Fearing for her life, she fled with her five children. Making an arduous journey of over 300 kilometres they arrived in Nakivale Refugee settlement, south Uganda.

An opportunity to provide

An opportunity to provide
With a loan from Opportunity International, Therese is working hard to grow her bean-selling business. She’ll then be able to afford to send her children to school. A gift of £40 could give someone else a loan to start a business and provide for their family.

Helping refugees in Uganda

Helping refugees in Uganda
Our most recent and innovative project works with refugees in Uganda. To date, we’ve enabled over 5,000 refugees to access financial literacy and finance products. Refugees are building stable businesses and moving from dependency to self-reliance.
