About us
OIC is a not‑for‑profit organization that empowers families along their journeys out of extreme poverty to new lives filled with strength, hope, resilience, and the power to achieve their dreams. In conjunction with Opportunity International, we provide microfinance services, including lending, savings, insurance, and transformational training to families living in poverty.
We serve people living in poverty who lack economic choices, experience low and irregular incomes, face unequal access to assets and have little opportunity to earn a decent living. With a particular focus on women, we also serve children and young people, since the task of ensuring that everyone can achieve a sustainable livelihood starts at a young age. Early pioneers in a movement that now provides access to finance to over 200 million people globally, we are turning our attention, ingenuity and creativity to focus on the marginalized, hardest-to-reach groups.
