GK (Gawad Kalinga) is a community development program in the Philippines that aims to transform slums into clean, beautiful homes and communities through integrated shelter, livelihood, health, and education programs. It involves building 700,000 homes in 7,000 communities over 7 years. A GK home costs $1,500 CAD to build and provides residents with a modest living space as well as a renewed sense of dignity and hope. The program is funded through donations to ANCOP, a Canadian nonprofit, with minimal overhead such that $1,500 CAD results in a home valued at $2,500 CAD.
