OUR HISTORY
The work started in 1995 even before Gawad Kalinga was officially formed into an organization
in 2003. Walk through our history as we mark important milestones and learnings from two decades of walang
iwanan.

OUR REACH
Gawad Kalinga continuously maps barangays/communities where the poorest of the poor are.
Through our vast network of
partners and volunteers
on-ground, we are able to deliver assistance where and when it is needed the most.
OUR PARTNERS
Poverty in the Philippines is massive. There are more people at the bottom of the pyramid than
there are on top and in order to reverse this social problem, everyone must be part of the
solution. Gawad Kalinga continues to rally all sectors of society to help in the vision of a poverty-free nation.

OUR MISSION LEADERS
 We are called to be heroes for the poorest, for the least. This is the
true essence of beauty. When we are able to dream when we cannot. You are a part of that growing
army.”

Walang iwanan (leave no one behind) is our commitment to the
poor. It is a testament of patriotism fuelled by faith. It is an act of faith deepened by
patriotism. Insha’allah (God willing), we will end poverty in our lifetime.”
