How We Make A Difference- Microfinance in Mexico

Carrillo Carvings Are Available in The Westminster Trade Cabinet


Opportunity Mexico was launched in 2004 to provide financial services for people suffering from unemployment and poverty. In Mexico 40% of the population lives in poverty. Microfinance helps address root causes of poverty.
Opportunity International
Our vision is a world in which all people have the opportunity to provide for their families and build a fulfilling life.
Our belief is that small-scale entrepreneurs can be big change agents in overcoming global poverty.
Our mission is to empower people to work their way out of chronic poverty, transforming their lives, their children’s futures and their communities.
Our method is to provide microfinance services, including lending, savings, insurance and transformational training, to people in need. To do this, we build and work through sustainable, local microfinance institutions.
Our motivation is to respond to Jesus Christ’s call to love and serve the poor.
