n Indonesia, two in three people live on less than US$2.50 a day. Many families struggle to access shelter, healthcare, education and essential services, hindering their ability to leave poverty behind. Working with partners, Opportunity provides families with small loans to grow their businesses. From farms and community gardens, to craft stalls and kiosks, the majority of loan recipients are women. Small loans provide them with much-needed financial freedom and independence. The opportunity to work and earn a living for these families on Rote and Timor Islands ensures they can meet their daily needs, send their children to school and live happier, healthier lives.
