Internshi

s In the PHILIPPINES

Gawad Kalinga [GK] translated in English means to "to give ca " and it is an alternative solution to the blatant problem of poverty just in the Philippines but in the world. GK's vision for the Philippines is a slum-free, squatter-free nation through a simple strategy of providing land for the landless, homes for the homeless, food for the hungry and as a result providing dignity and peace for every Filipino.

What started in 1995 as a daring initiative by Couples for Christ to rehabilitate juvenile gang members and help out-of-school youth in Bagong Silang, Caloocan City, then the biggest squatters' relocation area in the Philippines, has now evolved into a movement for nation-building. Together with its partners, Gawad Kalinga is now in the process of transforming poverty stricken areas with the goal of building 700,000 homes in 7,000 in 7 years [2003-2010]. To date Gawad Kalinga is in over 900 communities allover the Philippines and in other developing countries. [establish link to GK ABROAD, write-ups on GK Communities outside the Philippines]

Gawad Kalinga is more than about building houses for the poorest of the poor. Providing a decent home is just the beginning of the transformation of the people and the community.
