GK is a Philippine-based movement that aims to end poverty for 5 million families, by first restoring the dignity of the poor. GK was formally established in 2003, but the work began as early as 1994 in Bagong Silang, Caloocan City, the biggest squatters relocation site in Metro Manila. Since then it has expanded its work to over 2,000 organized communities and has been adopted in other developing nations like Cambodia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. It is also in the forefront of peace-building work in conflict areas in Mindanao and reconstruction work in post-disaster communities. 

In collaboration with BLD Trenton and Tropical Hut Catering, Gawad Kalinga has developed a community in the Liwayway Barangay of Mauban, Quezon.
