Opportunity International, which is based in Oak Brook, Ill., strives to reach the world’s poorest people through its microenterprise development programs.

Its mission is to provide opportunities for people in chronic poverty to transform their lives. Its strategy is to create jobs, stimulate small businesses and strengthen communities among the poor. Its method is to work through indigenous partner organizations that provide small business loans, training and counsel.

John Kamperschroer joined Opportunity International in July 2000 and is its vice president of marketing. He is involved in recruiting, training and managing several major gift fund-raisers.

He is also involved in the areas of planning, communications, marketing and donor acquisition for the organization while serving a major donor portfolio of his own. Kamperschroer has visited Opportunity International programs and the clients they serve in Albania, Romania, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, the Philippines, Ghana, Uganda and Africa.
