My Story…
Each year I help organize a team to ride in the Tour De Victoria to raise funds and awareness for Opportunity International. In my personal exploration on the fight towards poverty, I don't see a more effective way to support others in third world countries.
Each dollar raised or contributed to Opportunity International is loaned and re-loaned to business people, mostly women, across the world. It is a way to directly support families on a global scale learn through micro finance loans entrepreneurship and pride through business.
My good friend Jamie Hubick has been a big supporter and champion and employee for OI for many years. Each year through our yearly bike race we raise money and I am happy to be a part of it. I want and will continue to be a support women around the world.
Please join me this year in either joining our team and raising money, or donating to our campaign.
Description
Opportunity International Canada designs, delivers, and scales innovative solutions to transform the lives of those living in poverty through sustainable livelihoods and education. Made up of a global network of change-making organizations, Opportunity International strives towards a world where everyone is afforded equal opportunity to live a life with dignity and purpose. It was founded with the belief that the marketplace can be used as a channel and means of economic vitality for poor communities. This belief continues to drive strategic and sustainable programs that adapt to the needs of our clients especially now as they face the challenges of rebuilding their businesses while still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
For too many families living in poverty, this pandemic has not only brought with it sickness, but also hunger and homelessness. Lockdowns and increased health regulations mean many have been unable to work or run the small businesses they rely on for their daily income. In addition, many children have been unable to go to school, interrupting their access to education. These ongoing impacts of the pandemic threaten to drastically set back strides towards ending poverty.
Opportunity International Canada and its Implementing Partners are remaining on the frontlines by delivering strategic and sustainable programs to help families survive the challenges today so that they can thrive tomorrow.
