TFO Workshops Are Being Created for November 2025

The opportunities continue! Even though the living conditions of our recipients are challenging, they are determined to build a better life for their families. We, too, are determined to bring opportunities into our world and would not be able to do so without your generosity. This means financial donations are needed. We appreciate your support of our workshops that are shaping lives.

The future of Tools for Opportunity has taken a new direction!

A few months ago, our future was uncertain due to health issues for TFO President and Founder Gene Pedersen. This led to his decision to step down from his leadership role, but his hope was that somehow TFO would continue to grow and expand.

Since then, many miracles have taken place. Two of these miracles are that Gene is recovering beautifully and that another nonprofit that has watched our efforts from the beginning has decided to bring TFO into their organization. This nonprofit is ESNA (El Salvador North America Village Network).

From the start, when Gene first dreamed of providing a few key tools to struggling craftsmen, ESNA has been our comrade. And now, ESNA is looking into their future and envisioning the opportunities they can offer by uniting with TFO. Stay tuned for more details.
