MULTI-FACETED SOLUTIONS TO A MULTI-FACETED PROBLEM
PROJECT HIGHLIGHT: SEED PROGRAM
In 2014, Gawad Kalinga established the School for Experiential and Entrepreneurial Development (SEED) as an education-based response to poverty eradication in the Philippines, a country where only 40% of high school students go for further education.
Because face-to-face teaching is limited due to the pandemic, the SEED 3-month program was born. SEED equips students from low-income families with the skills to be agri-entrepreneurs thru a combination of campus-based and community-based learning.
This SEED program offers full scholarship with certificate in Organic Agriculture Productions and training in basic communication, project management, and leadership.
The SEED graduates hope to raise a generation of agri-entrepreneurs who will end poverty for themselves, their families, their communities, and their country.
Help us support as many agri-entrepreneurs as we can ($1,200 per student for the entire program). Click below to support the SEED program.

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.
