The Work of Gawad Kalinga Foundation

To date, Gawad Kalinga Foundation has established 900 communities all over the country, and all of which were built through the blood, sweat, and tears of thousands of volunteers coming from different walks of life ranging from students, business executives, hoi polloi, and government officials. When it comes to GK volunteerism, your status in life and economic stability do not matter. The only thing that counts is your willing and emblazoned heart for serving the poor.

Many have heeded the call for massive volunteerism because GK has made patriotism and heroism a fashionable concept. From volunteers, people who join the GK force turn into heroes for every house and community built for the poor. Aside from individuals, 200 of the biggest corporations in the country have pledged their support for GK programs such as Livelihood, Child and Youth Development, and Site Building. They do not only extend financial aid, but also contribute to the arm of the organization by involving their employees in such programs, helping to spread the good word about massive volunteerism as advocated by Gawad Kalinga.

Living in a world ruled by capitalism would make you think that patriotism is a dead concept, but Gawad Kalinga, through the power of massive volunteerism, has proven that love of country is still very much alive in the hearts of every Filipino.

Gawad Kalinga has made patriotism a fashionable concept. Through its cooperation and collaboration with schools, business corporations, government and nongovernmental organizations, the word about its altruistic goals are spreading like wildfire. The youth are also heavily involved in GK projects with the biggest universities in the Philippines encouraging the young minds to show their love for the country through helping their fellowmen. Corporations have continuously pledged financial aid and introduced their employees into the objectives of GK. Government and nongovernmental organizations use their influence to tell the world about the good works of Gawad Kalinga to rig in more volunteers for the cause.

Gawad Kalinga Foundation is more than just an organization. It is a movement will continue to move people to act on the pressing problems caused by poverty. GK breaks the deadly concept of apathy and keeps the idea of patriotism alive and burning. With more and more volunteers all over the world expressing their support for the movement, the GK goal of bringing dignity back to the poor will be an attainable goal.

GKUnity is a world-class technology developed to help Gawad Kalinga organize activities, manage resources and pledges, track progress of projects, and measure the impact of its many humanitarian activities to help the poor. Through this system developed by Voncore, Gawad Kalinga would be able to identify key areas that boost the results of its projects. GKUnity has also been presented in the recently concluded GK World Summit held in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Political leaders, journalists, volunteers, and GK advocates from different parts of the world attended this event.

Voncore has been inspired by the power of volunteerism and compassion fueling the noble objective of Gawad Kalinga. We believe that Gawad Kalinga is the catalyst that would drive a positive social transformation our country is in dire need of. More than building homes, our partnership with GK would be a driving force to uplift communities where beneficiaries are given a deeper sense of hope. Voncore does not only work for its success. There is a meaningful and inspiring purpose behind every effort exerted, every output produced, and every successful project launched; Working with Voncore is working with a company that supports a noble cause, a mission to improve the lives of the poorest of the poor, and an organization that drives a grand patriotic revolution to make a difference, Gawad Kalinga.
