Story
We, Daran Sarma and Kempe Brydges, are taking part in Jailbreak on the 14th/15th November, and we need your help! Jailbreak is a challenge where participants have to travel as far as possible in 36 hours without spending ANY MONEY. So we hope to travel as far as we can by hitching/blagging/begging/selling our souls etc.
We are taking part in support of the charity Opportunity International. It provides loans and training to people living in poverty in the developing world, and enables people to pull themselves out of poverty without engendering dependence on donations.
Opportunity’s services can make a huge difference for beneficiaries: “Clients use these financial services to start or expand a business, provide for their families, create jobs for their neighbours and build a safety net for the future.” For many, this is their only chance of a better life.
Opportunity has the highest possible rating from Charity Navigator, the respected and impartial charity ranking organization; it spends nearly 90% of its income on programs, with 8% going to fundraising and only 3% to administration. Opportunity also aims to make a significant impact on gender equality in the developing world, since most of the beneficiaries are women. Opportunity’s goal is to help 100 million people work their way out of poverty by 2015.
Please give us your support for this extremely worthy cause.
