Welcome to Gawad Kalinga
Welcome to Gawad Kalinga
"I am particularly thankful to those who found Jesus in the homeless and the hungry, who coursed their generosity through us to help the victims because of their growing trust in our expanding ground presence and our strong determination not to leave the helpless and the hopeless behind.
I am deeply grateful to our army of hope-builders whose mission is to deliver immediate relief and build lasting hope.
...this is my simple wish for every Filipino to remember when he wakes up every morning.
We will rise with the rest of Asia if we love our country with all our heart... go all out to care for our people...fight all the way to defeat poverty and injustice where they exist."
A BLESSED NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Welcome to Gawad Kalinga
Welcome to Gawad Kalinga
November 29, 2011, Palo Alto, CA –
The Skoll Foundation today announced a 2012 Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship for Gawad Kalinga (www.gk1world.com). “Gawad Kalinga brings new perspective to our growing portfolio of social entrepreneurs tackling poverty,” said Sally Osberg, President and CEO of the Skoll Foundation.
“With their deliberate focus on values formation and partnerships, Tony Meloto, Luis Oquiñena and their team have transformed large swathes of the Philippines. And they’ve successfully replicated the model in urban and rural environments, at half the cost of alternative interventions. We are delighted to welcome Gawad Kalinga to our Skoll community of social entrepreneurs.”
The Skoll Foundation invests in, connects and celebrates social entrepreneurs and the innovators who help them solve the world’s most pressing problems. Since its founding by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Jeff Skoll in 1999, it has given $270 million to support social entrepreneurs and their organizations in the areas of development and aid reform, deforestation, water and sanitation, economic and educational opportunity, healthcare access and treatment, sustainable markets, food security and post-conflict stabilization.
Said Tony Meloto, Chairman of Gawad Kalinga, "The Skoll Award is an affirmation of hope-builders and poverty-busters. The challenge before us is to scale to reach more communities in desperate need. We see a great opportunity, now, to bring our model to many parts of the world where the debilitating effects of poverty hamper the progress of nations and burden their people."
