- The mission of FINCA International
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 International
is to become the leading global microfinance institution by providing financial services to more than one million clients annually by 2010, while operating with the highest commercial principles of performance, transparency and sustainability.

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 by 2015.
