Villages of Opportunity
The big idea
This new initiative seeks to create long-term relationships between a community in the developing world and interested groups or individuals in Canada. Through this hand-in-hand approach to microfinance, a 'village' of people in Canada will help bring dignity and new opportunities to another village rich in energy, ideas and innovation. More than 50 villages in Colombia are waiting to make the connection with interested groups of Canadians!
