ABOUT US
FINCA is Committed to Making an Impact
FINCA was founded on the radical idea that giving small loans to people in poverty has the power to transform entire communities. The idea proved to be remarkably effective. Today, FINCA provides financial services to millions around the world.
We also are taking our deep, on-the-ground experience in microfinance to build a community of social enterprises that deliver sustainable solutions. The interventions delivered by these social enterprises range from getting a woman and her family access to healthcare and proper sanitation to helping a farmer secure her property rights and get a fair price for the products she grows, and much more.
We are making a sustainable impact in helping people build a better future.
