Healthcare, Livelihoods and Education Drive FincFriends CSR Programme Across India

Initiatives include healthcare outreach for around 16,500 beneficiaries, livelihood support for more than 200 micro entrepreneurs and education access for approximately 5,850 children across 195 Uttar Pradesh villages

FincFriends has expanded its Corporate Social Responsibility activities across healthcare, livelihoods, education and rural community development during FY 2025 to 26 through partnerships with Smile Foundation, Udhyam Learning Foundation and Bharat Lok Shiksha Parishad, also known as Ekal Abhiyan.
The initiatives focus on communities with limited access to healthcare, livelihood opportunities and education, extending the company’s financial inclusion approach beyond access to credit.
As part of its healthcare programme, FincFriends has supported the development of a Mobile Medical Unit in partnership with Smile Foundation.

The healthcare vehicle is expected to reach around 15,000 beneficiaries through OPD services, with approximately 1,500 additional beneficiaries expected to receive services through specialised health camps.
The Mobile Medical Unit includes a dedicated examination area, medical storage and essential operational and safety fittings. It is designed to provide OPD consultations and specialised health camps directly within underserved communities.
Alongside healthcare, FincFriends is supporting livelihood programmes through its association with Udhyam Learning Foundation.
More than 200 micro entrepreneurs are covered under the initiative, including over 70 food vendors in Bengaluru and 150 istri vyapaaris in Kanpur and Lucknow.

The programmes are focused on supporting livelihoods and developing entrepreneurial capacity among participating micro entrepreneurs.
FincFriends has also extended its CSR activities to rural education through its association with Bharat Lok Shiksha Parishad, also known as Ekal Abhiyan.
The company supports single teacher schools across 195 villages in Uttar Pradesh. Approximately 5,850 children are being reached through foundational education and community development initiatives under the programme.

Artem Andreev, CEO, FincFriends, said, “At FincFriends, we believe financial inclusion is about more than access to credit. It is also about creating opportunities that enable individuals and communities to build more secure and sustainable futures. Our CSR initiatives this year reflect that belief, whether it is bringing healthcare closer to underserved communities, supporting small entrepreneurs or enabling children in rural areas to access education. Each intervention addresses a different need, but the larger objective remains the same: contributing to more inclusive growth.”
The completed Mobile Medical Unit will serve as a healthcare resource for primary care outreach in underserved communities.
Through the three partnerships, FincFriends is directing its FY 2025 to 26 CSR activities towards different community requirements, ranging from healthcare access to micro entrepreneurship and foundational education.
