“Wherever you are in the world, excel and prosper but remain connected to the motherland and dedicate your success to the fulfillment not just of your dreams but to the many in your country who have lost their capacity to dream.” – Tony Meloto, GK Director

Smokey Mountain. Payatas. Baseco. What comes to mind with the mention of these places? Gabundok na basura, landfill, squatter, scavengers? Hindi na ngayon…

There is a big change going on in the Philippines. Many poor communities are being transformed. Underprivileged families are starting to enjoy a sustainable livelihood. Out-of-school children are granted education. It is all happening through the organization called Gawad Kalinga-ANCOP.

Please spare 6 minutes to see this video. I hope that it ignites your passion for the cause as much as it did ours.

This is the ultimate goal of GK-ANCOP – to transform poverty-stricken areas and restore the hope and dignity of the poor. NO MORE SLUMS.

Do you share the vision of a Philippines without poverty? If you do, you can help.

Here’s are some ways:
1. Sponsor a Child’s education - only $1.20 a day (price of a Tim Horton’s coffee)
2. Pool together with a group and provide a home for a family - $1,500
3. Volunteer in ANCOP
4. Spread the word

Someday, we dream of going back to our motherland - to a nation and a people that have achieved greatness through hard work, unity and faith. We pray that you will join us in making this dream a reality.
