The Living Rhythm of Our Work
KAWSAY MEANS “LIVING ENERGY” IN QUECHUA AND IT’S MORE THAN A NAME.
Our community of monthly donors sustains the ongoing efforts that equip and activate local leaders to turn knowledge into action. When you join Kawsay, you become part of that energy.
We measure that impact every 90 days. One person becomes a Climate Leader in Action when they learn, act, or share their story through our platform. Last quarter, 1,484 people did exactly that.
