Kawsay Int'l Development Organization is an IRS approved 501c3 tax exempt non-profit organization. We chose to name the non-profit Kawsay Int'l Development Organization because the word Kawsay (pronounced cow-sigh) means "Life" or "The Way of Life." It defines our mission and purpose. We look beyond just creating local program initiaives by implementing the initiatives with a global purpose and cause within the Education, Microfinance, and Humanitarian Aid sectors.
