With COVID-19, the low income families that FINCA Canada supports are at risk and will be the hardest hit by the pandemic.
FINCA Canada is launching our Text to Give: FINCA Canada Emergency Response Fund Campaign to rapidly raise funds for economically vulnerable women and their families in developing countries during COVID-19. With the funding, we will send critical resources to the affected communities through FINCA’s in-country operations. This campaign is critical to households’ resiliency and recovery from the pandemic.
Economic inclusion. Breaking the cycle of poverty. Access to critical financial tools. Allowing women and their families to reach their full potential. Only a united international community’s response can continue to provide these critical resources and avenues of hope for so many women around the world as they experience the pandemic.
Our launch date coincides with #GivingTuesdayNow, a global day of giving and unity that aims to spark an increase in citizen engagement and community giving around the world. Through our Text to Give: FINCA Canada Emergency Response FundCampaign, you can become a part of this international event to show our collective generosity as we unite against the COVID-19 crisis.
By donating, we stand together to support our global family.
Join us in giving families hope during these unprecedented times.

OUR GOAL
Developing countries will be hardest hit by the COVID-19 virus, with limited resources for state support available for citizens. Now more than ever, they need the extra funds to survive this crisis and to recover once it has passed.
Through our Text to Give: FINCA Canada Emergency Response Fund Campaign, we hope to raise $1,000,000 for vulnerable communities around the world.
To reach this goal, 100,000 people will need to donate only $10 via their wireless carrier. Your $10 contribution today will have a global impact tomorrow.
WHY?
The COVID-19 pandemic has touched every country around the world and even the most developed economies are struggling to cope with its unprecedented impact. COVID-19 threatens to disproportionately affect developing countries that cannot afford or do not have the infrastructure to support sufficient healthcare or government safety nets. In the long term, these countries will have to grapple with devastating social and economic crises as well.
Income losses are expected to exceed $220 billion in developing countries. It is estimated that a staggering 55 per cent of the global population has no access to social protection, meaning these losses will reverberate across societies, affecting all sectors of the economy – from education to human rights. In the most severe cases, access to basic food and nutrition might be compromised.
Our Text to Give: FINCA Canada Emergency Response Fund Campaign is critical to households’ resilience and recovery from the pandemic.
“This pandemic is a health crisis. But not just a health crisis. For vast swathes of the globe, the pandemic will leave deep, deep scars,” noted Achim Steiner, administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). “Without support from the international community, we risk a massive reversal of gains made over the last two decades, and an entire generation lost, if not in lives then in rights, opportunities and dignity.”
Help us make a difference to the local community by donating from home. A global crisis requires a global solution.
WHO WILL BENEFIT?
Around two million low-income FINCA-supported women in 20 developing countries where we operate. The raised funds will respond to the urgent health and economic needs of the families to help them manage through and recover from the pandemic.

FINCA CANADA
FINCA was founded on the idea of giving small loans to the economically vulnerable to transform entire communities in a sustainable way. We believe that by promoting economic justice and financial inclusion for all, we can break down the cycle of inter-generational poverty. Check out one of our initiatives here.
For over 30 years, FINCA has provided millions of low-income people access to loans and other financial services. As a social enterprise dedicated to financial inclusion, our model has been able to offer a unique ground-up approach to market development.
FINCA operates in 20 countries serving nearly two million clients. Through local leadership and local teams, we have the broadest outreach that supports with the most marginalized communities.
