Beatrice Duku Frimpomg Boaten (pictured right) lives in the Ashanti region of Ghana where she works as part of the Nerebehi Cocoa Farmers Association. With the help of her Opportunity loan officer, Abena Agyakowa Nketha Sapong, Beatrice has been able to obtain her first savings account, loan and insurance policy with Opportunity International. Serving as a mentor and trainer, Abena says the changes she sees in clients like Beatrice are a constant source of inspiration. "My greatest reward is seeing our clients say goodbye to poverty. It's also very soul-satisfying that Opportunity allows me to utilize my business skills while expressing my faith."

Beatrice is grateful for Abena and Opportunity. Since becoming a client, Beatrice has built up over $30 in savings and can now afford necessities like soap and shoes. And she has improved her farming and gained authority and respect in the community. "With Opportunity, I feel I have joined a family I can call on at any time," says Beatrice. "With their help, I know I can achieve my goals, and that gives me hope for the future."
