NGO Iquitanz

Iquitanz is a non-governmental organization (NGO) founded on June 23, 1993, originating from Andrés de Urdaneta School. It is composed of a significant group of individuals connected to our educational institution and the Augustinian missions, including parents, students, alumni, teachers, non-teaching staff, and members of the Augustinian.

Since its inception, Iquitanz has aimed to raise awareness about the realities of poverty-whether material, cultural, or spiritual-in various parts of the world, particularly in regions associated with the Augustinian missions.

To achieve our objectives, we carry out the following actions:

  • Organizing encounters with missionaries who share their testimonies of solidarity.
  • Supporting human development projects initiated by the Augustinian missions (in Perú, Tanzania, El Salvador, Honduras, India), as well as other missionary organizations.
  • Conducting the bocata solidario (solidary sandwich) campaign twice a year.
  • Hosting two solidarity markets (rastrillos) during Christmas and school festivities.
  • Promoting awareness of and participation in Fair Trade within the school community.
  • Supporting the Summer Missionary Volunteering program organized by the Augustinians.
  • Actively seeking new members, sponsors, and collaborators for our organization.
  • Soliciting funding for our projects from various official institutions.
