Aina Institute

Welcome to Aina Institute , the leading international educational institution in innovation, entrepreneurship, and social enterprise management, recognized in the Financial Magazine rankings. More than a school, we are a community of more than 500 social agents committed to social transformation and creating real impact.

Our origins lie in the journey of Aina Barca, who, at just 21 years old, founded Hetauda Family, an NGO in Nepal dedicated to the education of children with intellectual disabilities. Over the years, she faced challenges that led her to acquire key knowledge and connect with experts in financial management, marketing, fundraising, social media, leadership, communication, and sustainability—the pillars that shape our programs today.

In collaboration with the University of Barcelona, we offer Master's and Postgraduate programs designed to provide comprehensive training in NGO Management, Social Project Creation, and Social Entrepreneurship. Our methodology combines theory and practical experience, ensuring that our students not only acquire knowledge but also develop sustainable projects from day one.

At Aina Institute , we not only train professionals, but also connect them with job and internship opportunities in organizations aligned with their purpose. We believe in experiential learning, internationalization, and diversity, offering an inclusive environment and personalized support. Here, you'll learn everything you need from A to Z to create your own social organization, become a professional in the NGO sector, or specialize in social research. More than just training, we offer a path to transformation.

If you're looking to learn how to manage impactful projects, be part of a community that believes in change, and turn your vocation into a career, Aina Institute is the place for you. Join us and turn your purpose into a reality.
