“Let us not become weary in doing good.”

This scripture inspires our work at Opportunity EduFinance as we serve schools, communities, and future leaders.

With God’s grace, we continue to support access to quality education by equipping school leaders, strengthening learning environments, and opening doors for every child to thrive.

We believe that every act of service, every classroom built, and every learner empowered is part of the good work God calls us to continue.

From 4 children to 200+ learners. This is the journey of By Faith Learning Centre.

Founded in 2009 in Nairobi, the school began as a response to a pressing need: one overcrowded public school, and far too many children left without access to quality education.

What started in just two rented rooms has grown into a lifeline for hundreds of families.

Through floods, financial constraints, and the disruptions of COVID‑19, the leadership remained unwaveringly committed to keeping learning alive.

Today, through the Opportunity International Education Program, school leaders are strengthening their skills in financial management and school improvement, building a solid foundation for an even brighter future.

Watch how vision, resilience, and the right support are shaping a stronger future.

“With more than 9 million children out of school in Ethiopia, representing 35% of school-aged children, the need for innovative, collaborative solutions has never been more urgent,” - Dereje Legesse

During the International Conference on Next-Generation Microfinance: Unlocking Opportunities through Innovation, Inclusion, and Resilient Financial Services in Addis Ababa, Dereje Legesse, Technical Assistance Advisor at Opportunity International EduFinance, underscored the critical role of private sector engagement and blended action among governments, financial institutions, and development partners in closing the education access gap.

The conference was organized by the Association of Ethiopian Microfinance Institutions (AEMFI) and brought together sector leaders focused on shaping the future of inclusive finance.

Dereje emphasized the importance of targeted investments and strategic partnerships to strengthen education systems, particularly in areas such as WASH, renewable energy, and digital infrastructure, which directly influence the quality and resilience of learning environments.

From a financial inclusion perspective, he highlighted how financial institutions can better support low-income households and affordable private schools by developing tailored education finance products, leveraging digital solutions, and adopting data-driven lending models.

These insights reaffirm the power of innovative microfinance to unlock opportunities and create lasting impact for learners across Ethiopia.
