Tourism

GK Tourism aims to showcase the beauty of the Philippines and the Filipino as reflected in our GK communities. GK Mabuhay develops the potential of all sites to become tourist destinations because of the unique beauty of the area, and the inherent warmth and generosity of the GK residents.

The Philippines, comprising of 7,107 beautiful islands, is the setting for one of the most exciting stories of change and empowerment in the world. While the Philippines is known for its beaches and other beautiful tourist destinations, it is also known for its poverty and corruption.  GK Mabuhay seeks to restore pride for our country and our people by sharing the inspiring and exciting work with the poor happening in the Philippines to the rest of the world.

The GK Mabuhay Program welcomes local and foreign visitors to volunteer in Gawad Kalinga and experience Filipino culture by immersing in a GK community.  Volunteers of this program will have the opportunity to get to know the GK Kapitbahayan (GK residents) and build houses with them, tend their farms and participate in other GK programs wherever their interest lies.

If you are looking for a meaningful way to spend your vacations and holidays, the GK Mabuhay Program provides you a venue to do so. While helping GK communities, you also get to experience the local culture and discover nearby tourist spots that only locals know.
