By providing financial solutions and training, Opportunity International empowers people living in poverty to transform their lives, their families and their communities. In 2003, Opportunity began its work in China to serve the rural poor where the main economic activities revolved around subsistence farming. Today, approximately half of China’s 1.3 billion citizens still live in rural areas, where poverty levels are significantly higher. Those who are unable to migrate to the cities largely survive off agricultural activities, which are vulnerable to changing weather and market conditions. Women, young people and the elderly remain marginalized from the economic opportunities that might help them to leave poverty behind. Show less

Through awareness, a subsequent aim is then to cultivate an understanding of the complexities of contemporary social and political issues of language in the context of globalization – such as the positioning of languages of global significance and the fine balance struck with other local languages for sustainability in multilingual, cosmopolitan contexts of Asia – which allows for intelligent, significant and responsible contributions to society. This contributes, amongst other things, to fulfilling the sixth of HKU’s educational aims, involving the responsibility that each individual has to make informed and significant contributions to society, for sustainability and the advancement of the human condition.
