Minga comes from the Quechua minka or mink’a, a verb meaning “to request help by promising something in return,” which came to designate “trabajo comunitario por el bien común” (communal work for the common good) across much of the Andean region. It is pre-Hispanic in origin and is still practiced today in countries such as Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile and Argentina.
