KAP Profile

The Kite Association of the Philippines (KAP) is a non-profit, non-governmental, socio-cultural organization founded by an avid group of kite enthusiasts in the early 1990's. It's main aim and purpose is to revive, develop and promote the age-old Asian tradition of kite making and kite flying, both in the modern and traditional aspects.

The KAP attends local and foreign kite activities and represents the country in international kite competitions where it has reaped honors and recognition from world-renowned kite experts and foreign associations. Part of its policy is to conduct and coordinate the relevant aspects of organizing local, regional, national and international events. As a result, the KAP has not only gained the ability to organize kite activities on the domestic level, but the authority and capability to coordinate with foreign kite authorities from all over the world.

In June of 1993, the KAP was formally registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under SEC Reg.No. AN093-02829. It coordinates and works with the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), Air Transportation Office (ATO), Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA) and the Department of Tourism (DOT).

The KAP maintains special projects for Local Government Units (LGUs), Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) as well as educational and charitable institutions. Some of the special beneficiaries are:

- AIDS Society of the Philippines
- Haribon Foundation
- Kythe Foundation
- Philippine National Red Cross
- Philippine Navy / Naval Air Group
