Opportunity Africa was created by Neil Cranston in 1999 and was born out of Neil's belief that everyone in this world is entitled to some form of opportunity in life. In Neil's words - time has more value than money, the latter only helps the world go around.
Opportunity Africa was registered as a UK charity in 2012 and to date all costs have been covered by Neil himself with no external funding.
