Building the New World, the GK Way

Gawad Kalinga was born out of a desire to bury the old world of greed, corruption, injustice and hopelessness through compassionate self-giving to ease human suffering.

Sacrifice is the heart of love. Through miracles of solidarity, a new world will rise where no one is homeless or hungry, neither an enemy, a victim or prey.

Walang Iwanan!
