About us
At Mink’a Consulting, our mission is to empower organizations to lead with equity, cultural awareness, and purpose. We envision communities where collaboration, inclusion, and shared responsibility drive lasting change. Guided by the spirit of mink’a—the Andean practice of collective work rooted in reciprocity—we work alongside our partners to create strategies, programs, and relationships that transform vision into impact.
At the heart of our work is a commitment to solidarity, inclusion, and transformative leadership. Led by Javier Bustamante, our consulting practice partners with educational institutions, faith-based organizations, and mission-driven nonprofits to build capacity, foster intercultural understanding, and develop strategic solutions that empower communities and cultivate authentic leadership. We believe in holistic approaches that honor lived experience, affirm identity, and drive sustainable change.
What makes us different
The concept of mink’a is an ancient Andean practice of collective work rooted in reciprocity. Still alive in communities across the Andean region, mink’a brings people together to accomplish shared tasks—such as building bridges, repairing roads, harvesting crops, or other works that benefit the whole community. In Quechua, mink’a signifies more than the exchange of labor or goods; it is an act that relies on and deepens the relationships among all involved.
Inspired by this tradition, Mink’a Consulting is built on the belief that lasting impact comes from authentic relationships. We partner with organizations not only to advance their mission, but also to foster long-term collaboration that steadily moves them toward their vision and goals.
