Civil war and poverty are inextricably linked. Lucas remembers how rebel activity prevented his community from leaving the safety of the village to cultivate the surrounding land. "During the war I couldn’t implement anything," he recalls.

"Mobilize Opportunity" is a project that aims to raise $12,000 that can help an Opportunity mobile bank stay on the road and reach our clients like Lucas for an entire year! Champions start fundraisers and do something special, unique and fun to get their family, friends and colleagues involved.
