For most people in poverty, estimated at 1.5 billion worldwide, a modest amount of capital can make it possible to start a business or improve one. FINCA offers a distinctive, economical and effective method of providing essential working capital.

The Gift

A $250 loan can help a woman in Georgia diversify her inventory, purchasing shoes and clothing to sell, making her less vulnerable to changes in local market demands. And you're providing a self-employment loan, not a gift. Your donation will build discipline, responsibility, and self-confidence as women create their own business. And as each loan is repaid, the borrower's line of credit increases by an amount equal to her accumulated savings.
