FINCA Jordan
Microfinance (Social)
FINCA Jordan was founded as a non-governmental organisation in 2007 by FINCA International as their first affiliate in the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) region. In 2010 the organisation transformed into a for-profit entity as this provides the organisation with a more solid basis for reaching scale. FINCA Jordan offers solidarity group based and individual loans to micro entrepreneurs and also to small-and-medium-sized enterprises. Through its network of branches FINCA Jordan is active throughout the country, both in urban and rural areas. The loan provided by Triodos-Doen will allow FINCA Jordan to expand its activities further, mainly in underserved areas.

Microfinance
Whoever you are, and wherever you live in the world, you are likely to want permanent access to financial services. Microfinance banks play a crucial role providing access to finance to an increasing number of people living on low-incomes. We finance microfinance institutions because they help to build inclusive financial sectors, where the majority of people have access to financial services, leading to a sustainable basis for balanced social and economic development.
