Welcome to OPAD — Please Raise Your Helping Hand
OPAD was established in 2019 in the United States to reconnect poor and marginalized communities with a shared, global vision of making the world a better place for all. We've worked extensively with donors, governments, local NGOs, and affected communities across more than 15 countries — through representatives and partnerships with local NGOs that align with OPAD — fighting to alleviate poverty through direct, effective engagement on the issues that affect the poor and marginalized.
