Current Impact
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Did you know there are 2.6 billion people
in the world living on less than $2/day?
900 million of those people live in India.
Despite being the fourth largest economy in the world, India has a larger number of people living in poverty than any other country in the world. Large disparities exist across various regions and social groups.
India's rates of child malnutrition are higher than most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. These numbers are staggering and show the need for poverty alleviation in India is immense, with women and children needing immediate help.
A Long Term Solution
Opportunity International is a non-profit organisation which uses a business approach to solve the problem of poverty. Rather than a hand-out, they provide people living in poverty with access to microfinance services, including small loans, savings accounts, insurance and business training, to help them start or grow their own small business.
As each business grows, loans are paid back and lent out again. With 97% of loans repaid, the cycle of help continues, year after year. Each successful business feeds a family, employs more people and eventually helps to empower and transform an entire community, so creating a sustainable solution to poverty.
Transform the Lives of 1,000 Families
Through contributing to Opportunity International's India Program we aim to empower 1,000 people to take themselves and their family out of poverty, permanently!
Because it's easy to think we have to sacrifice something in order to give to others, we're creating a way to make a difference while also creating more for yourself and the people you love and care about.
Simply by giving the beautiful gift book "Love This Moment" to your friends, family, clients or employees, or by living an amazing adventure in the wilderness of Antarctica, you'll be helping to transform the lives of some of the poorest people in the world and make a real difference!
