The vision and mission of GK are concretized on the ground through 7 programs that are geared towards holistic community development. These programs respond to the most basic human needs for families to live a life of dignity and mutual respect.
ComBuild delivers GK’s core strategy of building a culture of bayanihan (solidarity and cooperation) in poor communities by organizing families into kapitbahayans (neighborhood associations) bound by common aspirations and shared values.
Our construction program builds beautiful but inexpensive houses, schools, multipurpose halls, pathways, and other infrastructure necessary for the community’s well-being.
Through this program, we aim to promote the proper growth and development of the children and youth living in GK communities through formal and non-formal education interventions such as values formation, skills training, talent workshops, and tutorial sessions.
Bayan-Anihan ensures that no resident goes involuntarily hungry in a GK community by building individual and communal farms and inculcating the value of self-sufficiency and productivity.
Gawad Kalusugan ensures that individuals and families are empowered to deliver basic health services and where the health systems are in place to respond to the community’s health needs.
Green Kalinga builds a mindset in GK that upholds and enriches the fundamental relationship of the individual, the community, and the environment by mainstreaming environmental technologies to ensure clean air, clean water, productive land and seas and the use renewable resources.
Mabuhay teaches GK communities to celebrate and showcase the inherent beauty and vibrance of the Philippines and its people by organizing tours to GK communities and strengthening our roots, values and culture, instilling in the communities the spirit of patriotism and love for country.
