Gawad Kalinga (GK) , translated in English means “to give care,” is an alternative solution to the blatant problem of poverty not just in the Philippines but the world. Its approach is integrated, holistic and sustainable – a concrete action plan to rebuild this nation by harnessing the best of the Filipino – our faith and our patriotism.
     What started barely five years ago in the Philippines as a simple but daring initiative has now become a growing multi-sectoral partnership driven by a vision of a new Philippines with NO MORE SLUMS. Together with its partners, Gawad Kalinga is now in the process of transforming poverty-stricken areas, many of them now empowered to further improve their quality of life! And the heart-work of GK volunteers is evident in the beautiful colors of the GK homes that have been built for and with the poorest of the poor Filipino families nationwide.
     The transformation is astounding. Slums are disappearing. Rich and poor, Muslims and Christians, government and the private sector are building communities together. The poor are re-discovering their dreams, and are being empowered to build a better future for their families. The stories of how not only the poor but also the donors have been transformed continue to grow. Gawad Kalinga’s achievements are a reflection of the sharing among different classes in society, and the partnership involving all sectors of society.
     In partnership with Gawad Kalinga, Wellness Development Foundation, Inc. will contribute monies, labor and other material donation to help build several houses in the BASECO Village at North Harbor, Manila Philippines.
