Andares ABP

What Andares ABP does

Andares A.B.P. is a nonprofit civil association founded in 2002 and headquartered at Carretera Nacional Km 255, Santiago, Nuevo León, Mexico, that delivers a comprehensive intervention model for adults with intellectual disabilities. The organization's program is structured around three pillars — Desarrollo Personal y Vida Productiva (personal development and productive life), Bienestar Personal (personal wellness including equinotherapy and yoga), and Residencias y Vida en Comunidad (residential community living) — and is grounded in the Schalock & Verdugo Quality of Life framework and a Human Rights-Based Approach (EBDH). Services encompass vocational training, inclusive labor placements with corporate employers (COMEX, Coflex, KFC México, Tecnológico de Monterrey), residential independence, and family support.

The organization operates the Andarinas social enterprise, a plant nursery and online store selling succulents, aromatic herbs, terrariums, and gypsum planters cultivated by program participants, distributed via a WooCommerce e-commerce storefront and six H-E-B supermarket locations across the Monterrey metropolitan area (San Pedro, El Uro, Valle Oriente, Chipinque, Contry, Valle Alto). It also runs an inclusive manufacturing contract (Maquilado SMP) with Soy Parrillero, packaging Chunks wood products sold at H-E-B and through soyparrillero.mx.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: the Líder de Cambio recurring monthly sponsorship program (anchored at $7,100 MXN per beneficiary, with donor-defined contribution percentages), Andarinas product sales, maquilaje contract manufacturing, and benefit events including the Torneo Capricornios golf tournament, the Copa Alberto Santos de Hoyos tennis tournament, and talks such as 'Sigue tu Gozo'. Governance is provided by a Consejo Directivo chaired by Horacio García, with Laura Támez as Gerente General and Marcela López as Gerente de Programas, and the organization reports support from a roster of corporate and foundation partners including Arca Continental, Fundación Femsa, Xignux, Nacional Monte de Piedad, and the Secretaría de Igualdad e Inclusión.

Revenue model

1. Social Enterprise Product Sales (Andarinas): Andares operates a social enterprise called 'Andarinas' that cultivates and sells plants including succulents, aromatic herbs (epazote, romero, lavanda, menta, hierbabuena, albahaca, tomillo, mejorana, ruda), terrariums, gypsum planters, and natural stone. Products are sold via a WooCommerce e-commerce store, at H-E-B supermarket locations in the Monterrey area, and via wholesale orders. Revenue supports program operations and provides employment incentives to participants.
2. Benefit Events and Fundraising: Andares organizes charity events including the 'Torneo Capricornios' (golf tournament), 'Copa Alberto Santos de Hoyos' (tennis tournament), 'Qué Día Tan Padre' (Father's Day event), and 'Sigue tu Gozo' talks. These events serve to raise funds, sensitize the community, and inspire participation in the mission while providing direct donations.
3. Líder de Cambio Sponsorship Program: Monthly sponsorship/donation program where individuals ('Líderes de Cambio') commit to monthly financial contributions to support specific adults with intellectual disability. The monthly cost of services per person is stated at $7,100 MXN. Donors can define the percentage of the scholarship they contribute. Revenue is recurring in nature and tied to individual beneficiary sponsorship.
4. Maquilaje / Manufacturing Contracting: Andares provides subcontracted manufacturing services where program participants perform labeling and packaging work for external companies. Notable example: packaging wood chunks and chips for grilling (SMP / Chunks by Soy Parrillero) sold at H-E-B. Revenue is transaction-based per contracted manufacturing batch.

Broad incumbents

• Fundación ONCE: Fundación ONCE is the Spanish foundation for the blind and persons with disabilities, operating a comprehensive ecosystem of training, employment, and accessibility services. It is comparable as a broader incumbent operating a similar integrated model (training + employment + accessibility services) that Andares' Modelo de Intervención mirrors in scope and structure.
• Fundación Grupo Bimbo: Fundación Grupo Bimbo is the corporate foundation of Grupo Bimbo focused on nutrition, inclusion, and community development in Latin America. It is comparable as a broader Mexican incumbent with active disability inclusion and labor inclusion programs that intersect with Andares' mission of inclusive employment for people with disabilities.
• Fundación Teletón México: Fundación Teletón México operates a national network of rehabilitation centers for people with physical and intellectual disabilities. It is comparable as a broader incumbent in Mexican disability services — overlapping with Andares in serving adults with intellectual disabilities but operating at significantly larger scale with broader scope across disability types.

Others

• ManpowerGroup (Disability Inclusion Programs): ManpowerGroup operates global disability inclusion and inclusive-hiring programs, partnering with nonprofits to source, train, and place candidates with disabilities into mainstream employment. It is comparable as an ecosystem participant whose corporate inclusive-hiring efforts align with the labor inclusion outcomes Andares achieves at COMEX, Coflex, and KFC México.
• Inclusion International: Inclusion International is a global federation advocating for the rights of people with intellectual disabilities. It is comparable as an ecosystem participant that influences policy frameworks and donor priorities directly relevant to Andares' Human Rights-Based Approach (EBDH) and Quality of Life framework positioning.

Regional players

(Asociación Pro Personas con Parálisis Cerebral): APAC is a Mexican civil association providing rehabilitation, education, and inclusion services primarily for people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities. It is comparable as a regional player offering similar nonprofit, multi-service disability programming in Mexico, with comparable reliance on donations and benefit events.

Direct peers

• Best Buddies México: Best Buddies México is the Mexican affiliate of Best Buddies International, focused on one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It is directly comparable to Andares because both operate in Mexico with overlapping mission scope on social-labor inclusion of adults with intellectual disabilities.
• Special Olympics México: Special Olympics México delivers sports training, competition, and inclusion programming for people with intellectual disabilities across Mexican states. It is comparable to Andares as both serve the same population (adults with intellectual disabilities) in Mexico, combining direct services with advocacy for social inclusion.
