Episode 14: A Conversation with Atul Tandon, CEO of Opportunity International

For this episode, we have the privilege of sharing a wonderful conversation with Atul Tandon, CEO of Opportunity International, interviewed by Kristen Dailey, the Executive Director of Global Washington.

Opportunity International is a global nonprofit organization that creates opportunities for entrepreneurs to build their businesses, children to go to school, farmers to feed their communities, and families to end the cycle of generational poverty. For nearly 50 years, they have developed innovative programs that use financial services, training, and support to address some of the greatest challenges facing those living in poverty around the world.

Atul is a vast well of knowledge. He talks extensively about the need for, and interdependency of, multiple services and programs to uplift communities out of poverty.

He also covers how the ripple effect of empowering one person can empower a whole community, the future of work including the use of technology, reasons to celebrate our progress on the sustainable development goals, and so much more. We hope you enjoy this episode of Goalmakers!
