Opus Foundation

A nonprofit working against human trafficking through medical missions and microlending.

Our Mission

We will seek to help those in distress find creative solutions for self-sufficiency. Our mission is not limited by borders or language or culture. We seek the betterment of mankind through the alleviation of suffering and corruption, and enhancement of freedom.

Where we work

Without borders

Our work follows need, not maps. From rural villages across Africa to communities throughout India, the people we serve are the heart of everything we do.

On Freedom

Freedom is the most sacred thing a person can hold. Strip away comfort, even safety, and a person endures — but take their freedom, and everything else falls with it. It is the most divine of virtues, because freedom is creation’s first gift: the power to choose, to build, to begin again. Trafficking is the theft of that gift. To restore it is the whole of our work.

Programs

Our programs

Medical Missions

Volunteer medical teams provide care to survivors and to people in underserved communities — meeting need where there is no other care to be had.

Microlending

Small, targeted loans help survivors and people in vulnerable communities start businesses and build independence. As loans are repaid, the funds are reinvested into new loans — so the program sustains itself over time.

Our Values

What guides us

Accountability

We hold ourselves to the same financial discipline we ask of the people we support.

Sustainability

Loans are repaid and reinvested, so the work continues without depending on a constant flow of donations.

Shared success

Borrowers build their own businesses and independence. We invest and advise — the success is theirs.
