FINCA Tajikistan’s Women’s Club recently held a two-day workshop covering market analysis, investment, and business planning to help aspiring entrepreneurs turn business ideas into viable ventures.

By the end of the training, 24 women had developed a roadmap to launch and grow their own businesses. This workshop is part of a broader effort through the Women’s Club, which has reached nearly 9,000 women since launching in 2022. The Women’s Club continues to create space for women to build skills, connect with one another, and access the financial tools they need to pursue their business goals.

Last week, FINCA Armenia joined the annual Harvest Day festival for the third year as a sponsor, giving our entrepreneurial customers from across Armenia the opportunity to showcase their products and connect with visitors.

By supporting local entrepreneurs and helping them bring their businesses to new audiences, FINCA Armenia is empowering our customers to strengthen their livelihoods and contribute to their communities.

In 1984, FINCA’s founders set out with a simple belief: all people have the wisdom, talent, and work ethic necessary to create their own pathways out of poverty. What they need is access to capital.

More than 40 years later, that idea of creating opportunity for people overlooked by traditional financial systems has reached millions of families around the world. And while our tools and innovative approaches to ending poverty have evolved, our belief in the power of people to build a better future has not.

Today, we celebrate the customers, staff, donors, and partners who have carried this work forward. Thank you for being part of more than 40 years of FINCA.

Investing in women is an investment in families, communities and entire economies.

For Asha, access to finance has helped her grow her business, create greater stability for her family, and send her children to school.

Not long ago, Neria Daka and her family of six lived in a single room home with mud walls and a thatched roof. They relied on the maize and groundnuts Neria and her husband grew to feed their family, while income from cotton farming was barely enough to make ends meet.

That began to change when Neria became a seed grower for FINCA Ventures investee Good Nature Agro (GNA).

GNA provided Neria with high-quality seeds, fertilizer, and training in improved farming practices, helping her achieve a more successful harvest. With the income she earned, Neria built a durable new home, sends her children to school, and is food secure.

For families living in remote areas of Kyrgyzstan, access to early childhood education can be difficult. Each summer, families move to Jailoo, remote highland pastures, to graze their livestock, taking them far from schools and kindergartens.

The Kindergartens on Jailoo project, led by the Roza Otunbayeva Initiative, brings early learning to these communities. In 2026, FINCA Bank Kyrgyzstan supported five seasonal kindergartens, giving children a safe place to learn, play, and prepare for school.

Breaking the cycle of poverty requires more than inclusive financial services. It also means investing in the next generation and creating opportunities for children to build brighter, more secure futures.

Financial education gives people the knowledge they need to make informed decisions, plan for the future, and handle their money more responsibly.

FINCA RD Congo recently held a financial literacy training for 153 students where they focused on practical skills like savings and financial planning.

After the training concluded, 112 students opened accounts with FINCA DRC, putting what they learned into practice and taking a step toward building stronger financial futures.

We highlighted this year's winning photos in an earlier post, but with so many standout entries and customer stories, we couldn't resist sharing a few more.

📸 Here are a few of our favorites and the stories behind them.

Across the globe, women are disproportionately affected by poverty, facing barriers to education, credit, and formal employment. Yet they often carry the responsibility of supporting their families and communities.

For more than 40 years, FINCA has uplifted women entrepreneurs by expanding access to the financial services they need to build more secure futures:

• Loans to start or grow a business
• Savings to build financial security
• Insurance to help manage unexpected challenges
• Financial education to make informed decisions

When a woman has access to capital and the tools to manage it, the ripple effect is powerful.
