Gawad Kalinga Community Development Foundation, Inc. (GK) is a Philippine-based movement that aims to end poverty for 5 million families, by first restoring the dignity of the poor.

Visit

The GK Enchanted Farm is Gawad Kalinga’s platform to raise social entrepreneurs, help our local farmers and create wealth in the countryside. As we learned that the road out of poverty is a continuing journey and therefore, providing homes is merely the beginning, we also realized that our country is abundant with resources (land included) that we can harness for every Filipino to continuously lead a life with dignity. The GK Enchanted Farm is located at California St., Pandi Angat Road, Angat, Bulacan, Philippines. You may schedule a visit today and go there either by private vehicle or public transportation.

Volunteer

Your time, talent and treasure is multiplied when you work with others in the spirit of Bayanihan. Build hope on ground and be an active part of this nation’s journey out of poverty. We prepare hearty lunch meals everyday and you can volunteer at a kitchen in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

Internships

If you want to study Gawad Kalinga or work with us to contribute to its growth, you can make a difference for GK communities through our internship program. In this program, individuals are empowered to improve the lives of others by sharing their expertise, talent, time & treasure in various GK communities. The program offers a chance to build lasting relationships with peers and most especially, with Gawad Kalinga community residents.

Research

Participating students, with the consent of their university advisers, apply academic concepts in GK communities and develop research materials and projects that will be used to improve the quality of life for people in need. These projects address a variety of topics related to, but not limited to, poverty eradication such as urban planning, education, hunger mitigation, environmental and health sustainability and social entrepreneurship. Participants are highly encouraged to craft a report and present their work at the end of the program.

Full-time Work
