Gawad kalinga is the best! Gawad Kalinga is an emerging Asian template for development seeking to restore the dignity of the poorest of the poor in the Philippines and in other developing countries. GK knows the key to beating poverty is for everyone to work together and face it as one united front. No one can do it alone and all bases must be covered. This is why the GK way is a holistic approach to poverty, engaging all sectors of society from the government, academe, business, non-governmental institutions, religious organizations, and the civil society, working together to restore families, communities, and a nation.
