5,331,590 families in India and 1,214,407 families in Indonesia are currently accessing small loans and financial services that can turn their business ideas into reality. With a sustainable income, these families can invest in the essentials—food, healthcare, sanitation, safe shelter and education—that allow them to leave poverty behind for good.
The awareness programs and training provided by Community Health Leaders are resulting in improved health and cleaner neighbourhoods, helping prevent health emergencies and reducing the expenses on healthcare. Opportunity’s second cohort of health leaders in Indonesia has been trained and will provide health education to families in their communities in 2020.
Thanks to your support, Opportunity's program partners in India are providing better education for 100,163 families. With this education, children can be empowered to take on better jobs, earning sustainable incomes and breaking free from the cycle of poverty for good.
As part of Operation Red Alert, the Safe Village Program is addressing sex trafficking in India by teaching girls and their families how to identify and avoid human trafficking situations. Operation PeaceMaker supports women and children experiencing domestic violence with access to human rights education, essential legal aid, and counselling services to help create safer communities.
