FINCA Canada Supports the Mission and Vision of FINCA International
The mission of FINCA Canada
is to provide financial services to the world's lowest-income entrepreneurs so they can create jobs, build assets and improve their standard of living.
The vision of FINCA Canada
is to be a global microfinance network collectively serving more low-income entrepreneurs than any other MFI while operating on commercial principles of performance and sustainability.
FINCA today reaches 700,000 clients in 21 countries.
But the scope of global poverty compels us all to do more. At the beginning of the new century, the nations of the world agreed to work toward eight Millennium Development Goals that would eliminate extreme poverty and hunger.
FINCA takes that challenge seriously. That is why we launched
the Village Banking Campaign. It will enable FINCA to double its impact: to use the power of microfinance to extend loans, microinsurance, and savings to one million poor families so they can effect their own development.
