1. Background Veneica is a nonprofit civil association, active since March 2020 and legally constituted in the province of Ica, Peru, on July 25, 2023. Its mission is to protect and restore the rights of refugees and host communities in Peru through a comprehensive model that provides guidance and assistance for regularization and documentation, access to health and welfare services, psychosocial support, community integration, and the strengthening of livelihoods through employability, financial education, and entrepreneurship support.

Veneica is positioned as a support network for migrants and refugees. It focuses on immigration counseling, refugee applications, and case management through strategic alliances. To that end, the organization mobilizes communities by supporting migration regularization and seeks to transform migration management into a safer, more responsible process that respects the human rights of migrant and refugee populations in Peru. Veneica obtains financing through regular and extraordinary contributions from its members, as well as donations, grants, and loans. Veneica submitted its application to the OAS on October 10, 2025.
