ALBOAN is the international cooperation NGO of the Jesuits in the Basque Country and Navarre regions. Along with many people excluded by the system in which we live, ALBOAN works at building a global citizenship to denounce the injustices that cause inequality in the world, to build a culture that promotes the common good and to transform structures that generate poverty at the local and global level.

To achieve this, ALBOAN works as a network with people and groups around the world. Its specific contribution to this collective construction focuses on the following topics:

  • Quality education
  • Economic and productive development that is sustainable and equitable
  • Humanitarian action in recurrent crises
  • Democracy in favor of excluded people

In all its different activities they incorporate the following transversal themes:

  • Spirituality as a driver of human development
  • Recognition of inequalities between women and men and commitment to gender equality.
  • Social and political impact of citizen participation
