The Philippines, comprising of 7,107 beautiful islands, is the setting for one of the most exciting stories of change and empowerment in the world. While the Philippines is known for its beaches and other beautiful tourist destinations, it is also known for its poverty and corruption. GK Mabuhay seeks to restore pride for our country and our people by sharing the inspiring and exciting work with the poor happening in the Philippines to the rest of the world.
The GK Mabuhay Program welcomes local and foreign visitors to volunteer in Gawad Kalinga and experience Filipino culture by immersing in a GK community. By working closely with our caretaker teams and GK residents and with the help the Department of Tourism and other industry experts, we are able to design a variety of volunteer-tourism packages that makes the exciting experience of GK community life possible for people of all ages.
If you are looking for a meaningful way to spend your holidays, the GK Mabuhay Program provides you a venue to do so. By signing up for a GK tour or becoming a GK tour guide yourself, you not only get to travel, you also get to help others in more ways than you can possibly imagine. Come and experience the GK journey with us!
