Gawad Kalinga, definition
Gawad Kalinga, translated in English means to “give care,” is a Philippine-based movement that aims to end poverty by first restoring the dignity of the poor. With its motto “less for self, more for others, enough for all” GK employs an integrated and holistic approach to empowerment by creating an enabling environment with values-formation and leadership development at its core. GK has become a vehicle for convergence for all sectors, and its model of governance is now being replicated in all levels of Philippine society (Reyes, 2014). Established in 2003, the foundation currently works with over 2,000 communities including eight in the province of Capiz.
