Finca Nigeria Chief Financial Officer Jobs September 2014
FINCA provides financial services to the world’s
lowest-income entrepreneurs so they can create jobs, build assets and improve
their standard of living. We are an anti-poverty organization whose work is
aimed at creating employment, raising family incomes, and reducing poverty
worldwide. FINCA offers small loans and other products to those turned down by
traditional banks, believing that even the poor have a right to financial
services. With these loans, families can invest in, and build, their own small
businesses and their income-earning capacity. Worldwide, our clients post
repayment rates over 97 percent.
FINCA pioneered the “Village Banking method” of credit
delivery, now used by hundreds of organizations worldwide. Our programs reach
the poor in more diverse countries than any other microcredit provider. We
operate Village Banking programs in 23 countries of Africa, Eurasia, the
Greater Middle East and Latin America, serving over 1,000,000 people – 70%
women.
We’re not a typical charity. We offer loans, not gifts, and
we promote financial independence, both among our clients and in our programs.
Although we are a nonprofit, we operate using sound business principles and an
entrepreneurial spirit.
Our work enables poor families to create their own solutions
to poverty. Our Village Banking methodology promotes community and individual
development, helping lift entire communities out of poverty.
