Opportunity International United Kingdom
Opportunity International UK exists to empower people and communities in the world's poorest countries to overcome poverty and to secure sustainable improvements in the quality of their lives. It works through micro-enterprise and community development programmes. It provides poor people a sustainable way to help themselves and an opportunity to develop small businesses, strengthen communities and transform their lives, by supporting partner organisations that provide access to sustainable financial services, training and advice.

David Coates
"Opportunity's mission is to provide poor people with access to credit and other financial services that provide them with a way out of poverty and a means to transform their lives. We strongly believe that large numbers of the world's poor can break out of the cycle of poverty and despair, and change their lives forever. Microfinance, the provision of financial services for poor people, can help them do this. It is one of the most effective and sustainable forms of development assistance."
