Partnerships for Opportunity was created by Natalie Ward and Peter Hunt out of a desire to assist community-based, social development projects in Sub-Saharan Africa.  In 2005, while living in Uganda, East Africa, they were deeply affected by the profound poverty. Moreover, they were struck by how little it took to make a large positive impact on the people with whom they had the opportunity to interact.

During their time in Uganda they became involved in many grassroots projects both in urban and rural regions. By directly linking ongoing fundraising efforts in Canada with small-scale social development programs in Uganda, they were able to witness profound positive changes in the daily lives of those living in dismal conditions.

After a year of working with schools and interest groups on fundraising initiatives in Canada, Natalie and Peter returned to Uganda in the spring of 2007. During this four months in the country they worked to implement several new community-based programs and continued their work on ongoing projects.

Peter and Natalie are currently living in Victoria where they are actively involved in the ongoing fundraising and educational campaigns of Partnerships for Opportunity.
