Goal 1: FINCA Ventures supports the growth of early-stage social enterprises, which work to help people lift themselves out of poverty. This is an inherent part of how FINCA defines social enterprise. With this definition, we are fostering a market for affordable, high-quality and life-improving products and services. Goal 2: Supporting early-stage companies in the agricultural sector, FINCA Ventures works with them to increase food security and sustainability, enhance agricultural productivity and market access, reduce market uncertainty and increase incomes for smallholder farmers. For example, our partner East Africa Fruits is working to improve supply chain in Tanzania to reduce farmer’s post-harvest losses from 40 percent to 20 percent. Goal 3: FINCA Ventures supports young social enterprises operating in the health sector. Their goal is to improve access to affordable, quality healthcare and pharmaceutical services for low-income people. This is exactly what FINCA partner MDaaS Global is doing in Nigeria. They are opening healthcare centers that offer radiology, cardiology, laboratory and other diagnostic services. Additionally, they are building these centers in low-income communities, which are the most excluded by the existing healthcare system. Goal 4: FINCA Ventures also supports early-stage companies, like Eneza Education, operating in the education sector. In this role, the goal is to increase access to educational opportunities for youth and adult learners and to prepare individuals for future employment opportunities. Goal 5: FINCA Ventures aims to address gender inequality by incorporating a focus on (1) products and services designed for female customers and (2) the consideration of female-owned and female-led enterprises in the selection of investee companies.
