Company Profile
Opportunity International Canada
Company Overview
Opportunity International Canada is a registered charity that empowers families along their journeys out of extreme poverty to new lives filled with strength, hope, resilience, and the power to achieve their dreams. In conjunction with Opportunity International, we provide microfinance services, including lending, savings, insurance and transformational training to families living in poverty.
We serve people living in poverty who lack economic choices, experience low and irregular incomes, face unequal access to assets and have little opportunity to earn a decent living. With a particular focus on women, we also serve children and young people, since the task of ensuring that everyone can achieve a sustainable livelihood starts at a young age. Early pioneers in a movement that now provides access to finance to over 200 million people globally, we are turning our attention, ingenuity and creativity to focus on the marginalized, hardest-to-reach groups.
Company History

We are passionately committed to transforming our clients' lives, which is all made possible through donations from generous Canadians and strong global partnerships with local microfinance organizations who share our mission and vision.
