With its pursuit to end poverty, Gawad Kalinga (GK) has provided land and shelter to more than 100,000 families in 3,000 communities throughout the Philippines.

 

GK and GK USA share the desire and mission to ensure that the journey that started with providing land and homes will culminate with families getting out of poverty by enabling  mechanisms to trigger economic productivity to catapult families towards sustained and transformative income streams.

​Our Impact

​​

Gawad Kalinga USA has significantly contributed to building 3,000 cohesive communities across the Philippines.  Over 5,000 local leaders work in solidarity with poor communities, volunteers, local government units and private institutions.

These communities allow us to listen to their most pressing concerns and inform us how to best respond to their needs.

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.
