Orange is a bold invigorating color suggesting strength, endurance and success. It represents enthusiasm, encouragement and determination. It is the banner of success carried by children released from poverty in Jesus’ name.

“When a woman is given an option to change her life, she invests 90% back into her family. As a result, she and her family prosper, breaking out of the cycle of poverty. She then looks outward to her community, growing as a leader, lifting the quality of life for her neighbors and inspiring others to join her movement to do the same.”
- Vicki Escarra, CEO of Opportunity International
Today, on International Women’s Day, look into the face of woman who is choosing to leave poverty behind.

Two women work in tandem to operate the water pump at the community well in the drought ridden village Vo Tokpli, near one of our newest child development centers in Togo, TG705. The well is the only one for miles around and at peak times of the day the wait to collect water can be as long as two hours.
