About Gawad Kalinga (GK)

Gawad Kalinga (GK) translated in English means to to give care,
and it is an alternative solution to the blatant problem of poverty not
just in the Philippines but in the world. GKs vision for the
Philippines is a slum-free, squatter-free nation through a simple
strategy of providing land for the landless, homes for the homeless,
food for the hungry and as a result providing dignity and peace for
every Filipino.

What
started in 1995 as a daring initiative by Couples for Christ to
rehabilitate juvenile gang members and help out-of-school youth in
Bagong Silang, Caloocan City, then the biggest squatters relocation
area in the Philippines, has now evolved into a movement for
nation-building. Together with its partners, GK is now in
the process of ending poverty of the 5 million poorest families in the country by 2024. To date GK is in over 1,700 communities all over the Philippines and Cambodia, Papua New Guinea, India, Indonesia, and recently in South Africa.

GK is more than about building houses for the poorest of the
poor. Providing a decent home is just the beginning of the
transformation of the people and the community.

GK's
other programs include Shelter and Infrastructure, Education, Health,
Environment, Culture/Values Formation, Livelihood/Productivity, and Community
Empowerment. GK has evolved into an Asian Model of Development consistent
with the UN Millenium Development Goals.
