Photo of the week: Something to smile about! The success of Elma’s sari-sari store has enabled her to provide her four children with an education! She was able to improve her business with a small loan from Opportunity International Australia’s partner in the Philippines, TSKI. In the future, Elma hopes to open her own restaurant!

Small loans, big changes
Opportunity International Australia exists to provide opportunities for people living in poverty to transform their lives. With over 40 years’ experience in microfinance and support services, we use a business approach to solve poverty. Rather than a hand-out, we provide our clients with a loan as small as $100 to help grow their small business. This enables them to earn an income and afford food, water, shelter and an education for their children. Visit www.opportunity.org.au
