Epic challenges to end extreme poverty

About Team Opportunity

Team Opportunity is calling adventure seekers to participate in extraordinary running, climbing, and hiking events worldwide. Opportunity International’s endurance challenge program is designed to connect passion with action. We want you to join us in epic challenges that will build awareness of global poverty and the power we each have to be a solution; raise money for Opportunity's mission; and offer a life-changing experience for you in the process. Even better—your efforts will help power incredible transformation for women living in extreme poverty in Malawi. Whether you’re an accomplished athlete or just getting started, our team provides the resources and support to help you achieve your training and fundraising goals—let’s do this!

Team Opportunity does not currently have any endurance challenges scheduled for 2026. If you'd like to be informed for future challenge, please let us know at this form. In the meantime, you can complete your own endurance challenge for Opportunity by starting your own fundraiser!


Why We Take on the Challenge

Team Opportunity raises money to help unlock opportunities for women in a remote area of Malawi living on just 50 cents a day. Our fundraising and support will help these women meet their most immediate needs, start two businesses so they can generate income, put food on the table, and send their children to school as they lift their families out of extreme poverty.
