Peru > FINCA Peru

FINCA Peru's Mission is to contribute to the empowerment of social and economically disadvantaged women in Peru. By facilitating the integral development of human capacities, FINCA Peru promotes the development of the entrepreneurial spirit within each of its clients. Its mission is to strengthen the social discipline of women through the daily practice of positive values such as equity, solidarity, respect, responsibility and honesty.

Finca Perú primarily serves women, specifically focusing on mothers who run small businesses and have the will to form mutually-supportive groups such as the village banks. By focusing on women, FINCA Peru operates with the understanding that women who are able to achieve a higher level of income will be able to pass along their earnings directly to all members of their families.

The three fundamental pillars of FINCA Peru's village banks are:

Training

Credit

Savings.

On the basis of these three components, all activity is developed through group meetings of 20 to 30 women that take place weekly or every two weeks. These groups have their meetings in order to receive training and to carry out their loan and savings. Our dedication to the integral development of the capacities of our clients has led to produce a financial service with a training program for business development.

FINCA Peru has also recently launched an export business to promote the beautiful products made by the women they serve. You can learn more about this business here: Finca Peru Exports
