About Opportunity International Canada
The potential to see poverty alleviated in our lifetime.

At Opportunity International Canada, we are driven by a steadfast commitment to empowering individuals around the world through the transformative power of microfinance. Our journey began with a simple yet powerful idea: that every person, regardless of their circumstances, deserves the opportunity to build a better life for themselves and their families. 

With a deep-rooted belief in the entrepreneurial spirit and untapped potential of individuals living in poverty, we provide financial resources, training, and support to help them start and grow their own businesses. By doing so, children are able to go to school, families are fed, jobs are created for neighbours, and communities begin to thrive – that’s the potential of Opportunity!

And it all starts with one small loan. We invite you to learn more about what we do and then, join us in our mission to help families work their way out of poverty, for good. 

Opportunity delivered.
