Gawad Kalinga is building a nation empowered by people with faith and patriotism; a nation made up of caring and sharing communities, dedicated to eradicate poverty and restore human dignity. We aim to engage at least 20,000 barangays through our platforms of solidarity, resulting in millions of lives transformed and hope stories told.
Gawad Kalinga (GK), meaning "to give care" in Filipino, is a Philippine-based non-governmental organization focused on poverty alleviation and nation-building through community development. Founded in 2003, it works to end poverty by providing homes, land, food, and other resources to marginalized communities, while also emphasizing values-formation and leadership development.
