Those of you who follow this blog will know that one of my favourite organisations is Opportunity International. Opportunity International is one of the world’s largest micro finance organisations. They help give the working poor a working chance by providing small business loans.

If you are looking for a gift idea with a little more meaning than a tie, bottle of perfume etc, why not consider giving your loved one, friend, business associate or colleague an OppStock.

Sample OppStock Certificate

An OppStock which is valued at $100, represents one microloan that helps launch a small business in Africa or Latin America. Purchasing one share, while they are only symbolic stocks, they have real benefits for the poor. An OppStock helps start one new business, which means that a family can begin to leave chronic poverty behind.

To order your OppStock contact Opportunity International at 1-877-867-2448.

Hello Everyone,

Today when checking my Facebook page, I noticed a notification from Opportunity International. Opportunity International has just launched a new site called OptINnow.

Opportunity International, as you may know is one of my favourite organisastions. They are a micro finance organisation and help support struggling entrepreneurs in the developing world.

Pangea Collection supports their effort and in particular offers $1 donation for fair trade month with the inclusion of “fair trade” in the shopping cart and items start at just $20.

This new site, OptInNow is similar to that of Kiva’s site. Visitors can select an entrepreneur that they want to support and lend them the money. I think this is such a great way to connect directly with those that you are supporting. Please check out the site and consider supporting one of the entrepreneurs. Keep in mind that the site is new and there are not yet that many entrepreneurs listed.
