MULTI-FACETED SOLUTIONS TO A MULTI-FACETED PROBLEM
Operation Walang Iwanan (OWI) - Typhoon Paeng
In the aftermath of Typhoon Paeng, internationally known as Nalgae, the immediate task is to provide relief assistance to help the affected families. Initially, Gawad Kalinga is bringing disaster relief packs to these areas:
LUZON – Real, Quezon; Batangas; Cavite
VISAYAS – Antique and Sara, Iloilo
MINDANAO - Upi and Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao
YOU can make a difference by providing food, water, first aid/hygiene kits, mats, blankets, and other basic needs. One individual disaster relief pack costs $15.00.
When disaster strikes, the poor suffer the most. Together, let us make them know that we will not leave them behind.

SUPPORT OUR MISSION TO END POVERTY
POVERTY IS A MULTI-FACETED PROBLEM REQUIRING A MULTI-FACETED SOLUTION.
At the core of the solution is a change of one's heart and mind, coupled with a strong desire to work together to change the status quo in a sustainable manner. Help us to shelter, feed the poor, and provide our communities with educational and economic opportunities to rise up from poverty.
HOW WE END POVERTY:
OUR PLATFORMS
We allow the poor to inform our biggest decisions and actions. The solution to poverty may begin with a home, but it does not end there. Our platforms allow us to partner with other organizations, agencies and individuals so that we can be where the poor need us the most.
