"I am thrilled to be able to support the work of Opportunity International, and it humbles me greatly. I don't want to wait to make a difference. I want to help this globally minded generation understand and experience the power of microfinance in breaking the cycle of poverty," Pritzker said.

"We are pleased to have the support of young leaders like Liesel who are socially conscious and have a passion for building a better world," said Kadita "A.T." Tshibaka, president and CEO, Opportunity International. "We believe their efforts will have a significant impact on the expansion of Opportunity's financial services to reach many more Africans living in poverty."
