WHAT IS OPPORTUNITY INTERNATIONAL?
Opportunity International works by providing microloans that provide jobs and income to HIV/AIDS affected families, helping them support themselves and establish economic opportunities for their children. Developing businesses and a network of resources empower women, their families, and communities to cope with the devastation of HIV/AIDS.
Opportunity also aims to prevent the further spread of AIDS through peer education, testing, counseling and holistic support. The organization is based in Oak Brook, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. In addition to providing a substantial donation to Opportunity International, Sable Trail is acting as a sponsor.
Opportunity extends the transformation to new individuals, families and communities who desperately want to build a future of hope, but just need a little help. The impact within this community goes beyond just loans and financial
services —it means providing dignity, opportunity and HOPE to the next generation.
