Ever since its founding, Opportunity International has considered itself as a family, with members around the world. We serve our clients with caring hearts. We support our coworkers with shared commitment. We celebrate success and pull together in hard times.
Today, our Opportunity family in the Philippines needs our help. Last week, Typhoon Haiyan – the strongest tropical storm ever – devastated the island nation. Entire villages were destroyed; there might be as many as 10,000 fatalities and more than 650,000 people displaced.
Almost no corner of the country was spared, including many areas where Opportunity works. Unfortunately, as many as 1,000 of our colleagues have lost their homes, and up to 40 are still missing in the storm’s chaotic aftermath. The typhoon also took houses, businesses and loved ones away from thousands of Opportunity clients.
It’s an unimaginably difficult situation for survivors – and we can help. That’s why we’ve launched the Opportunity Philippines Rebuilding Fund. Your donation will help families have the financial assistance to recover in the months to come.
In cases where donations exceed what is needed for a specific
initiative, we promise to honor your generosity by using
your gift where it will have the most impact on building sustainable
livelihoods for those living in poverty.
