KASA – Komitas Action Switzerland-Armenia – was born at the end of 1997, following the concerts given in Yerevan by the Swiss choir «Komitas» directed by Sirvart Kazandjian. It is registered as an association in Switzerland and a foundation in Armenia (2001).
From the beginning, the Foundation has been concerned with respectfully supporting the most disadvantaged people, according to the thought learning to fish rather than offering a fish. It therefore offers material assistance, but accompanied by training opportunities and development tools.
In addition, KASA has supported agriculture since 2002 through the construction of infrastructure in several isolated villages, Gogaran, Argina, Arjut. Currently implements social entrepreneurship program.
Since 2009, the Foundation has focused on distance learning programs through non-formal methods to contribute to the advancement of civil society by supporting educators. In particular, the foundation has developed distance learning on its e-learning platform through Moodle - Open-source learning platform, as well as created educational games.
Since its establishment, the Foundation has been investing in the development of people-centered tourism, aimed at discovering the cultural and human resources of Armenia. As well as, the Foundation has trained more than 300 guides.
To carry out its mission, KASA established the Espaces Center in Yerevan (2001) and the KASA Gyumri Center in Gyumri (2006).
