Together,
we can end poverty.
GK1 World Foundation, collectively known as Gawad Kalinga USA is the lead partner organization of the Gawad Kalinga Global Community and its mission partners in creating a sustainable template to end poverty.
Gawad Kalinga USA aims to uplift the Philippines as a nation; to build a country full of hope. We envision a nation made up of sharing and caring communities dedicated to eradicating poverty and restoring human dignity.
Impact
Gawad Kalinga USA has significantly contributed to building over 3,000 cohesive communities across the Philippines. More than 5,000 local leaders work in solidarity with poor communities, volunteers, local government units and private institutions. These communities allow us to listen to their most pressing concerns and inform us how to best respond to their needs.
Help build a future
full of HOPE.
This month, families across Mindanao and Tawi‑Tawi are facing urgent challenges. On February 6, 2026, Tropical Storm Basyang brought heavy rains, floods, and landslides that displaced thousands of families. Just days earlier, a massive fire in Barangay Lamion, Bongao, Tawi‑Tawi destroyed around 1,000 homes, leaving families without shelter or basic necessities.
The on-ground team of Gawad Kalinga’s Operation Walang Iwanan is already coordinating with the local government to bring relief to those most affected. Your monthly support makes this rapid response possible, turning care into action and distance into meaningful help.
You can be part of the aid that reaches families today.
