About Us

PARTNERS OF THE AMERICAS SINCE 1968

Kansas Paraguay Partners and its Paraguayan counterpart the Comité Paraguay Kansas is an international volunteer organization promoting people-to-people exchanges between Paraguayans and Kansans. Both organizations are members of the Partners of the Americas (POA), the Western hemisphere’s largest private, completely apolitical volunteer organization.

States in the USA are partnered with regions or countries in Latin America and the Caribbean to facilitate cooperation and exchange. KPP is composed of over 10 committees that work on community-based projects, such as agriculture, civil society and health that benefit both sides of the partnership.
