If each of us takes part in caring and sharing, the overwhelming challenge of poverty can be addressed. Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much.
BUILD A COMMUNITY
PUEBLO ANTONIO GK VILLAGE

Pueblo Antonio GK Village is a legacy village of the Habana family, given as a symbol of gratitude to its original tenants (18 families) for their many years of loyal service. Each family was awarded a lot size of 300 square meters so they can also accommodate their extended families. Another family, Reyes-Munda was so inspired by this generous gesture, and they decided to add more homes to the community. A 1,000-square meter lot was also awarded per family to be used as their productivity area where they can grow vegetables or flowers and earn from selling these. There are plans to build a “hometel”, too, for tourists and guests.

Get to Know the Community

To Reap a Bountiful Harvest


Nestled on top of the mountain ridges of Toril, amidst hectares of fertile land, you’ll find a small community of Catigan farmers. Every single morning before the sun peeks out from the horizon, Jaime Severino and his neighbors would head out to the farms — tilling the soil, planting seeds, getting rid of weeds, and on some days, harvesting crops.
