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.

HOPE STORIES

Stories inspired by the people who rediscover hope amid adversity. Having the chance to connect with our brothers and sisters on the ground allows us to share their perspectives on poverty. Read on for stories of the people who need help the most.
